Atari Means Business with the Mega ST
The first "pro" ST
Announced at CES in January 1987, the Mega ST was Atari’s first attempt at creating full-fledged workstation for professional users. Sadly it retained the rather large key sizes of the earlier ST models, making typos too easy. It would have made sense for Atari to sell an internal hard drive upgrade for the Mega ST, but instead they sold a separate external hard drive, the MegaFile, that you could place under the Mega ST. Modular perhaps, but more expensive and messier than an internal solution that would also not have external cables or a power supply.
