I have a question that sounds so simple, I hope someone can give me a hand. What does 'ST' stand for, as in ATARI ST? Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Patrick Bradd University of Western Ontario Computer Science.

Either "Sixteen Thirty-two" (after the 68000, which has a 16 bit data bus but 32 bit registers) or "Sam Tramiel" (after Jack's #1 Son) :-).

Rather: ST --> Sixteen/Thirtytwo (16-Bit data bus/ thirtytwo bit internal architecture of the MC68000 Processor) TT --> Thirtytwo/Thirtytwo (32 Bit databus and internal architecture of the MC68030 Processor) Are y'all happy now?
