As noted in the subject line, today's WSJ-BB said that Atari will begin shipping
the 1040ST to computer stores today. Atari will also introduce a 20 Meg hard 
disk. No prices were quoted for either. 

I would assume that the rest of Erik's info is in the ballpark. I have heard no
mention of any ST the other than the 520, 1040 and the rumored "TT".
