An article in USA today (12/30/85) talked about Atari announcing that the
512k st would be sold in chain stores, and a 1 meg version of the st would
be carried by those stores currently carrying the 520st. Sounds like the 260ST
will be dropped!!?!?!!

Also, it appears the TOS rom chips will be going for about $20 and that they
will be shipped any day now. Gary Tramiel provided this info (TOS chips) to
my boss at a local store.
