The NY Times has an article up on retrocomputing (see previous boost) and they have a photo in there "Atari ST in 1985" that just blows my mind...
Knowing that NYT has good archiving practices, I trust that they got this photo in 1985 and the GEM looks like 1.0, so this was probably an early pre-release ST at a trade show.
WHAT is that monitor? I was deep into the Atari ST back then, and I've never seen this before. There was an Atari monitor with a built-in floppy drive???
@tsturm Can't find much information on it but it seems to be a rare PS3000 RGB monitor. https://atariage.com/forums/topic/172060-interest-check-atari-mega-st-atari-ps3000-monitor-atari-sm124-monitor/
@readsteven Thanks! How had I never heard of that before? I guess Atari never even brought it over to Germany back then...
@tsturm And yet I'm finding more information about them in German than English. https://www.maedicke.de/atari/hardware/ps3000.htm
