Specifications
The Atari ST typically features a Motorola 680x0 CPU @ 8 MHz and either 512 or 1024Kb of RAM, that can be extended up to 4Mb.
Music-wise, it has integrated midi and the YM2149F soundchip. The STE also has a chip able to play back 8-bit samples at up to 50KHz, allowing it to play Amiga modules (at a higher CPU cost).
