The Atari ST and IBM PC are file compatible, which means you can write a program to an IBM disk, plug it into the ST's drive and be able to read, write, delete, copy, etc with no problems.  Of course, you can't run IBM programs directly on an ST (although there are a good quality IBM emulators available), but you can, for example, read an IBM-written text file into 1st Word or any other popular word processor on the ST.
 
By the way, what did you mean by "Atari 12"?
