C5: "In an interview in the first issue of Compute!'s Atari ST, a magazine from ABC Publications that will be on newsstands Aug. 26, Sam Tramiel, president of the Atari Corporation, says his company will introduce both 2-megabyte and 4-megabyte versions of the ST computer by the end of the year.... The company has no plans, he said, to design ways for current ST owners to upgrade their machines. "Other projects, Mr. Tramiel said, include an 'EST,' for enhanced, ST model that will incorporate high-resolution color and monochrome graphics; a 'TT' (Thirty-Two, as in bits) computer that will use Unix- based software..., and a $200 to $300 device that will allow the ST to run I.B.M. PC software. Meanwhile, the Atari line may be redesigned to look more like the I.B.M. PC, he said...." Wayne McGuire (wayne@oz.ai.mit.edu)
