It's a new version of the good old 1040 ST called 1040 ST E.
It has a newer and faster TOS version (if i remember correctly they say it's
TOS 1.6 - don't ask me about 1.5).
- Disks formatted with this version are compatible to MS-DOS.
- You have 16 Colors out of 4096,
- stereo sound,
- two new controller-ports on the left side where you can plug in light guns
  or paddles (you can also get 4 additional joystick ports with adapters).

The machine looks like an ordinary 1040 ST.
