- Yes
-
- > 2. What's the difference between a 520 and a 1040?
-
- Basically, the 520 has 512K RAM and the 1040 has 1Mb RAM. Other differences
- can abound, however, depending on how old the system is. Some 1040's did
- not have an RF modulator (therefore no hook up to a TV), early 520's did
- not have a built in floppy drive, etc. Just look before you leap.
-
- 3. Is there a "catalog" of software that's available
- > for the ST somewhere on the net?
-
- No, but Atari has recently published the "International Software Catalog"
- which lists most all known available commercial software products for the
- Atari ST/STe/TT computer line. You can order one direct from Atari by
- calling 408-745-6833. It's a pretty hefty book and well designed with plenty
- of descriptions, screen shots, prices, addresses, phone numbers, etc.

- > 4. Where is the best place to buy software by mail
- > (I prefer 800 numbers)?
-
- One of my personal favorites is TOAD computers, 800-448-TOAD. Other good
- ones are Joppa, 800-876-6040 or Computer Studio, 800-253-0201. Several
- others out there too, of course.

-
- Don't think so but there is an Atari ST FAQ which you should read as it
- includes lots of nifty info for the newcomer.
-
- Good luck,
