The Atari ST is a line of personal computers from Atari Corporation and the successor to the company’s 8-bit home computers. The initial model, the Atari 520ST, had limited release in April–June 1985, and was widely available in July.

It was the first personal computer with a bitmapped color graphical user interface, using a version of Digital Research’s GEM interface / operating system from February 1985.

The Atari 1040ST, released in 1986 with 1 MB of memory, was the first home computer with a cost per kilobyte of RAM under US$1/KB.
