520ST USER MANUAL TOS+GEM (but is same as with STE)
http://dev-docs.atariforge.org/files/At … Manual.pdf

TOS=like MS-DOS (cpm/64k derivate)
http://dev-docs.atariforge.org/files/ST … 2-1990.pdf
WIKI TOS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_TOS
GEM=like WINDOWS 1.1
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_ … nt_Manager

BOTH TOS and GEM are in ROM chips...

FDD EMULATOR SD CARD
http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=42
You put this into ST (or PC or AMIGA) and use 32GB SDCARD as 3"5FDD with 32GB

SATAndisk and ULTRASATAndisk are HDD SD card emulators...
They are cool for HDD software that install into hardisk...
http://www.lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=94

But for homebrew games, freeware music composers and players you dont need to have HDD...
Simply whole OS boots from ROM and than use FDD emulator with 32GB sd card for example.

BTW ATARIST TOS has same 720KB disk structure as MSDOS so you can read and write files on PC.
Not as on AMIGA with special 880KB format...

What else...
For others who doesnt own ATARI STs... Hmm there will be MISTBoard something like Raspberry PI but ATARI and AMIGA compatible...

Carl here is nice site for start:
http://www.atarimusic.net/
There are about 30 music composers for ATARI ST (YM and STE SAMPLE and using combination)...

There is YMTRACKER for windows too
http://www.fedepede04.dk/Ym2149.html#ymtracker

And then you record music on your ATARI....

4MB are pretty enough, remember that AMIGA1200 had 2MB and ATARI FALCON 030 4MB...
50% ATARI ST software needs 512KB ram, another 48% 1MB ram and 1% or 2% more than 1MB RAM. Remeber STE is 1989 or 1990 maschine!!! ) 4MBs was like 48GB RAM in that time...

Truth is that there was only 61 games usig STE gpu and sample soundchip...
