The STacy was released shortly after the Mega ST and was Atari's first attempt at creating a portable ST. The STacy shipped with TOS 1.04 and it's hardware very closely followed the ST upon which it was based. The only differences were as follows:


  • All in one design incorporating CPU, keyboard and case.
  • Built-in monochrome LCD screen.
  • Integrated track-ball.
  • Optional internal SCSI hard drive.


The STacy shipped in 3 models:

  • STacy = 1 MB RAM, 3.5-inch internal floppy.
  • STacy 2 = 2 MB RAM, 3.5-inch internal floppy, 40MB SCSI HD.
  • STacy 4 = 4 MB RAM, 3.5-inch internal floppy, 40MB SCSI HD.


An extra floppy drive could be installed instead of the internal hard drive.

The STacy suffered mainly from a short battery life and a fairly heavy weight of 15lbs/7kgs.
