Atari STacy 2

Atari Stacy 2 is a portable version of the Atari ST line, introduced in 1989 as an upgraded model to the original Atari Stacy. It features a Motorola 68000 CPU running at 8 MHz, with 1 MB RAM standard (expandable), and includes a built-in monochrome LCD screen (9″ diagonal) designed for professional and mobile computing use.

The Stacy 2 offered integrated floppy drives (usually dual 3.5″ drives), a built-in keyboard, and Atari ST’s graphical user interface (GEM OS). It supported the full Atari ST software library and was compatible with standard ST peripherals. The system targeted business users needing portability with desktop-class capabilities.

Despite its innovation, Stacy 2 was expensive and relatively heavy compared to later laptops, which limited its mass-market appeal.
