[comp.sys.atari.st] General ST questions

ericg@sco.UUCP (Eric Griswold) (06/26/87)

I'm thinking about buying an ST and I have some questions.  All answers,
be they opinions or facts are appreciated.  Please mail me and I
will summarize to this group, if appropriate.

1. Can anyone give me a concise contrast of the 520ST, the 1040ST, and
   the Mega-ST?

2. Is anyone using a reasonable implementation of LISP on their ST 
   (I've heard many unfavorable things about Cambridge LISP)

3. Is there any definitive manual for the ST?  (Much like _De_Re_Atari_
   and _Mapping_the_Atari_ were for 8 bit machines?)

4. How much user memory (after GEM) is left on a 1040ST?  Generally,
   what must one do/pay to get more?

TIA,
