Hey, welcome in the great world of ATARI nostalgia!

If they are "just" STs, without any extension like STF, STM or STFM, and with external diskdrive only, youīve got some of the very first STs from mid ī80:s. They probably donīt have TOS in ROMs, get it from your favorite Atari-FTP. Have in mind that they canīt read disks formatted on an ibmclone, not even 720kb disks. and the drives MIGHT be single-sided... (360kb) :)

Donīt have too high expectations about that "capabilities" you read about; They were the best you could find at that time, 15 years ago... Now, they are "vintage" and a great nostalgic hobby, indeed. If they are all original (never opened) and in a good condition, please treat them with care, thereīs not many of them left... Have fun.

Gordon
