 The Atari ST is a home/personal computer that was released by [[Atari|the Atari Corporation]] in 1985 and commercially available from that summer into the early 1990s. The "ST" officially stands for "Sixteen/Thirty-two", which referred to the [[Motorola 68000]]'s 16-bit external bus and 32-bit internals.

 Part of the next generation of home computers, the ST battled against the [[Amiga]] for supremacy only for both to lose out to the PC.  Never a direct rival with the [[CPC]], the ST was seen as more of the next logical step to take in your home computing habit and no doubt many former CPC users made the jump to Atari's machine.
