From The New York Times, August 12, 1986, p. 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...."
