Atari 16/32 bit Personal Computer - Dismantled for reference and curiosity
Released in 1989 the STE was an enhancement on the Atari ST boasting updated multimedia and OS features. ST representing Sixteen/Thirty Two bit and E for Enhanced.
The ST was the first home computer with integrated MIDI sound support. To top that the STE was the first Atari computer with PCM support and the first home computer to have audio sample rates above CD quality.
Sadly very few of the new STE features were ever used and those that were are only seen in more serious applications. The 'Enhanced Joystick Ports' that also took standard joysticks were later used on the Atari Jaguar.
