and the "ST" in Atari ST stood for "sixteen/thirty-two" referring to the 16-bit 68000 processor and ... 32-bit something else, I forget :)

- vidarh 8y agoThe 68000 CPU has a 32-bit address space [1], 32-bit internal data bus, and 32-bit registers, but a 16-bit external data bus and 16-bit ALU, so it's sometimes seen as a bit of a hybrid and sometimes referred to as a 16/32 bit CPU. [1] but only 24 address lines, which led to "interesting" bugs when people had written code that used the top byte of addresses for other purposes and their code was then run on a 68020 or higher.
