V*
Modem
Modems
are
connected to
the ST Computer
through this
port. Any
industry-standard RS232C
modem can be attached to
your com-
puter. Your computer uses a
modem
to
get
in touch with other
computers using the
telephone. Hook
your ST Computer up to
an
information service, to
electronic mail, to the
computer at
your
school
or office, or
to a
friend’s
computer. You
can also connect
serial printers and other RS232C
devices to
your computer
through the Modem
port.

Floppy
Disk
Your ATARI
MicroFloppy
Disk
Drive plugs
into this
port. The ST
Computer
can work with up to
two
drives.
Each
single-sided
ATARI
SF354™
Disk
Drive can store
over 360,000
bytes of
information.
^
Hard Disk
An ATARI Hard
Disk can be attached to
your ST Computer through
this
port. A hard disk
drive can store
more information and
transmit that
information much faster than
is possible with
a
floppy
disk drive. The
Hard Disk port transfers up to
10 million bits of in-
formation per second—
enough
to
fill the entire Random Access
Memory
(RAM)
of the ST
Computer in a
fraction of
a
second.
Cartridge
Cartridge
Software
programs in cartridge
form are inserted
.into this car-
tridge
slot.

Only
Memory) cartridges work
instantly without
the extra time for
loading and without
using any
of your
computer’s memory.
Up
to 131,072
bytes of
program infor-
mation can
be
contained
on
a
cartridge.
