Mega STE

The Mega STE was released in 1991 and was designed to replace the aging Mega ST design. The enhancements found in this machine were mostly a mixture of features from the standard STE and the TT designs and included:

• Software switchable CPU speed between 16Mhz and 8Mhz for enhanced compatibility.
• Increasing the colour palette from 512 to 4096, albeit while still only allowing 16 colours on screen at once.
• 8-bit DMA Stero sound output through RCA connectors.
• Much easier to upgrade RAM thanks to 30-pin SIMM slots.
• Genlock support.
• A much improved version of TOS, with versions from 2.0, 2.05 and 2.06 available in it's lifetime.
• TT style case with detachable keyboard and base which also acted as a monitor stand.
• Support for a 1.44Mb floppy drive, which was added to later models as standard.
• Internal SCSI hard drive support.
• Appletalk compatible network port.
• A VMEbus slot.

There were three models available with 1Mb, 2Mb and 4MB RAM. The 1MB model lacked the high resolution mono monitor and built in SCSI hard drive.
