The architecture of the ST's processor. Sixteen bit external, Thirty two
bit internal. i.e. can process thirty two bit numbers directly, but can
only access sixteen bits of memory at once.
Atari's new computer (?) is called a TT i.e.

              Thirty two - Thirty two

This can handle thirty two bit numbers directly and also access thirty two
bit portions of memory directly.
