A 1 MB version of the Atari 520 ST, the 1040 enjoyed moderate
success in both the home and business environments. A direct
competitor to Commodore’s Amiga line, the ST eventually
succumbed in the European market where it had first had a strong
following because of its great price point. Like its other cousins,
the 1040 could be interfaced to hard drives, floppy drives, printers,
and also MIDI devices. Although the ST never took off in the desktop
publishing market, it did make huge inroads with musicians because
of the built-in MIDI and the excellent software that was written to
support it.

| The Atari PS3000 is one of the stranger, more rare peripherals ever released. It contains a color 14" monitor for the Atari ST line, as well as a 3.5" drive in its base. Rumored to be produced in a quantity of only 1,000 this is quite the rare find.
The other interesting aspect of this monitor is that it will play both NTSC and PAL games without an issue - no rolling or problems usually associated with the two different television standards. |

Atari SF354 Disk Drive

|
| Release Date: |
5/1/1985 |
| |
| The SF354 is an external 360K single sided 3.5 floppy drive. The original Atari ST models did not include a built in disk drive, so this was sold with the system to actually make it complete. It was also sold as an extra drive. It was replaced by the double-side SF314.
The manual is available.

| The Atari SH204 hard disk is an external 20 meg hard disk drive for the Atari ST series of computers. It connects up to the ST's external DMA port and is enclosed in a shoebox-size case. The drive is an MFM drive that runs off of an Adaptec DMA->MFM converter board. In order to use the SH204, or any hard disk running off of the ST's DMA port, a driver is loaded off of the drive at boot up. |

My 3rd computer. I bought this while living in Europe in the early 90's and was surprised how long it was supported there and the following of programmers and preponderance of graphics demos etc.
Did a lot of graphics and played a lot of games on it. Most notably Frontier Elite, Another World and Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix!

I am very glad to have contributed a 1040ST, mono and colour monitors, assorted peripherals, and software to the PCMuseum in 2013. I would encourage anyone with unwanted computer equipment to donate. Happy computing!

I have a receipt for the PS3000 monitor that my Mom purchased for me as a gift in December 2005, so the release date was prior to what you have listed on the website. I still own it and it works beautifully =).
