It also included a MIDI interface, making it a common device in music studios.
It was also the first series of personal computers to include up to one megabyte of RAM from the factory.
The ST family (which stands for Sixteen/Thirty-two, referring to the internal and external bus of the Motorola 68000 processor it included) is the successor to the Atari 8-bit family.
