Home > Browse Our Collection > Books > Atari > The Atari ST companion

If you're the proud owner of a new Atari 520 ST, or if you're wondering whether you should buy one, then this book is for you.

Jeremy Vine describes in detail all the features of this revolutionary new micro, including the window - icon - mouse based GEM operating system from Digital Research, which gives the ST a user interface as friendly and powerful as that on the Apple Macintosh.

Also covered are the ST operating system, TOS, the Atari Intelligent Keyboard controller, the sound and graphics chips, input and output ports, and the custom microprocessors.

The Atari ST Companion gives you all the information you need to take full advantage of all the sophisticated facilities - the "power without the price" - of the machine, whether you are using it for programming, business or just for fun.
