-      The machine itself is just a regular STe with 4 1MB Simms, which although expensive at the time, were quite commonplace.
-
-      The badges can be bought from eBay, so seeing one of these machine for sale is no guarantee that you are getting a ''Genuine'' developer example.

-    text: The 4160STE was an actual machine produced by Atari, but it wasn''t sold to the public as such. It was a developer machine. That being said, it was nothing more than a standard 520 or 1040STE upgraded to 4MB. Atari also made the case badges available to the public for those that had upgraded their machines. I purchased a NOS 4160STE case badge for my 520STE that was upgraded to 4MB.

-    text: I own 2x 4160STEs, but as for provenance, they have none, since they have been assembled from parts bought from eBay and other sources. As has been said, a 4160STE is just a 520STE with 4MB RAM. You can even still buy original, NOS 4160STE case badges, so unless you have documentation that proves it to be something special, I wouldn''t take it as read that it''s anything other than an upgraded STE.

-      I own an origianl Atari 4160 STf Engineering Sample!
-
-      An 4160 STe never exists and is never sold in the World! Only the Type Stickers exists and were sold separately over the World!
-
-      Atari decide to produce only the Mega ST 1, 2 and 4 und the following Mega STe 1, 2 and 4!
-
-      So the 4160 STf is the only existing 1040 like ST with 4 Mb Ram on Board!

-    text: The information displayed here is false. The 4160STE was sold in Europe and was not a developer only machine. Badges that say 4160STE on them can also be bought from a few retailers that still sell Atari related products so all you have to do is open any 520STE or 1040STE, upgrade it to 4 megs of RAM and change the badging to say 4160STE and voila! You are now the proud owner of a super rare "developer only" machine.
