In the Feb. issue of BYTE Dave Menconi reviews the 1040st.  He
critizies it for not having a RF modulator.  Does the AMIGA or the Mac
have one? NO!  Neither of them have standrard ports!! The ST does!!

He also critizies the read/write speed of the ST.  He does not mention
that the ST took the least amount of time to recalculate a
spreadsheet!

In his conclusion he says: "The Atari 1040st is an excellent value
with just a few problems that mar an otherwise ideal product.  These
include the lack of an RF modulator that whould allow you to use it
with a television set (Who would want to???), the possibility of
damaging disks if you exceed the desktop limit of folders..."
