Recently I saw an British advertisement offering original ST-models with built in RF modulator, the so-called 520ST-M and 520ST-M+. Seems to me the ideal configuration: use you monochrome monitor for 'serious' work and use your color television set occasionally to test your own color applications and to run commercially available color applications. Unfortunately, STs are not (yet?) being sold here, in the Netherlands, with built in RF modulator. Can we expect all future ST models to be equiped with built in RF modulators or is it Atari's policy to sell these only in selected regions? Frans Dorrestein, The Netherlands.

From talking to Atari at the recent Consumer Electronic Show here in Chicago and from what I have read elsewhere, all future 520ST computers will be made with the RF modulator built-in but the 1040ST will never have the RF modulator built-in. Since Atari doesn't make specific models for selected regions, I'm sure that all regions will get the 520STM version when the 520ST's are flushed out of the pipe line.
