 Atari ST - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atari was also working on a "high-end" 68000 based machine at the time, so it is not clear what their intentions for the Amiga design were.
Atari had originally intended to release versions with 128 KB and 256 KB of RAM as the 130ST and 260ST respectively, but the rapidly falling prices of RAM at the time led them to cancel these versions and it was released with 512K only.
Atari went on to release the Mega STE (an STE in a grey TT case that ran at 16MHz).

The Atari TT was the fastest system that Atari ever built.
To make the system work with a 32MHz 68030, Atari had to scale back their plans somewhat, and add a ton of cache to the system.
