The Atari STACY was launched in 1989

The Atari Stacy was launched in 1989. Atari had been talking about a portable ST since 1986, but it was fast tracked for launch when the ST became increasingly more popular with musicians, and feedback was such that it was a viable product to launch for this niche market alone.

The Hall SC-VGA-2 Video Processor, the Atari ST and NeXTSTEP

A periodic fascination on this blog is figuring out better ways to get better screenshots of our classic systems, which often hail from the Wild Wild West/East in terms of video standards (read all entries in this series).

Yes, Goto 10 is ostensibly an Atari newsletter, but I have a lot of latitude with that1. As long as I can relate something to Atari in some way, it’s a candidate for an article.
