-  * monitors + 
-      * PS3000: Combined 12-inch color monitor and 360k 3½-inch floppy drive (SF354). Speaker. Manufactured by JVC in limited quantity (≈1000), only a few working models remain.\ +**Models** 
-      * SM124: Monochrome monitor, 12-inch screen, 640 × 400 pixels, 70 Hz refresh +These are the main models for the US. There are additional models for Europe. There are also some crazy/hard to find/prototype models floating around.  
-      * SM125: Monochrome monitor, 12-inch screen, up/down/sideways swivel stand, speaker, 640x400 pixels, 70 Hz refresh + 
-      * SM147: Monochrome monitor, 14-inch screen, no speaker, replacement for SM124 +^Model^Release Year^Details^ 
-      * SC1224: Color monitor, 12-inch screen, 640 × 200 pixels plus speaker\ +|520ST|1985| the first ST model, includes 512KB of RAM; uses an external power supply and requires an external floppy drive| 
-      * SC1425: Color monitor, 14-inch screen, One speaker on the left of screen, a jack to plug ear-listeners +|520STM|1985|same as the above but with a built-in RF modulator for connection to an analog TV set| 
-      * SC1435: Color monitor, 14-inch screen, stereo speakers, replacement for SC1224 (rebadged Magnavox 1CM135) +|520STFM|1986|a built-in floppy drive, RF modulator, and power supply| 
-      * SM195: Monochrome monitor, 19-inch screen for TT030. 1280 × 960 pixels. 70 Hz refresh +|520ST+|1986|a 520ST but with 1 MB of RAM| 
-  * printers +|1040STF|1986| a 520ST with a built-in DSDD disk drive and 1 MB of RAM. The 1040STF only has a monitor output with no RF out.| 
-      * SLM804: Laser printer, connected through ACSI DMA port, used ST's memory and processor to build pages for printing +|1040STFM|1986| same as above but with a built-in RF modulator| 
-      * SLM605: Laser printer, connected through ACSI DMA port, smaller than SLM805 +|Mega ST|1988|Redesigned motherboard. Comes with 2 or 4 MB of RAM. Includes a real-time clock and an internal connector for expansion. Most models also include the BLiTTER graphics chip first introduced with the STE range.| 
-  * storage +|520STE and 1040STE|1989|Same as 520STFM/1040STFM, but includes the BLiTTER graphics chip and enhanced sound. The sound chip has two extra channels which can be used for digitized audio. The color palette is extended to 4096 colors. You'll pay a premium price for these models even though the upgrades were rarely implemented.| 
-      * Atari SF314 - DSDD, 3.5" floppy disk drive, 360KB, needs a power brick, you can daisy chain 2 but not 3 +|Mega STE |1991|Same hardware as the 1040STE, but with a 16 MHz CPU and using the same case as the Atari TT desktop computer.| 
-      * Atari SF354 - SSDD, 3.5" floppy disk drive, 720KB, needs a power brick, you can daisy chain 2 but not 3 + 
-      * SH204: External hard drive, 20 MB MFM drive, "shoe box" case made of metal +**Ports** 
-      * SH205: External hard drive, Mega ST matching case, 20 MB MFM 3.5-inch (Tandon TM262) or 5.25-inch (Segate ST225) drive with ST506 interface (became later the Megafile 20) + 
-      * Megafile 20, 30, 60: External hard drive, Mega ST matching case, ACSI bus; Megafile 30 and 60 had a 5.25-inch RLL (often a Seagate ST238R 30 MByte or Seagate ST277R 60 MByte drive) with ST506 interface +^Function^Details^Standard|
