The [[ST]] has a variety of ports and connectors with which to expand it's capabilities. These are a mixture of industry standard and proprietary ports. Depending upon the model these can include the following:

Industry standard:

* RS232c serial port - This port can lend its hand for a variety of uses but its most common task is communications.
* Centronics Parallel port - A versatile port which is most commonly used for connecting a printer.
* Joystick/mouse ports - This Atari designed port became an industry standard in the height of its console dominance.
* Midi ports - These ports are more or less MIDI standard. The ST was the first home computer to incorporate MIDI ports into its design.
* Stereo audio ports - Arriving with the [[STE]], these allow connection to a suitable HiFi or monitor.
* SIMM - These slots provide an easy and cheap way to upgrade the memory with up to 4Mb. They are not available for the earlier ST range.

Proprietary:

* ACSI DMA port - This is primarily used to connect hard drives.
* Cartridge port - This allows 128k ROM cartridges which can be used to add capabilities to the ST or just to load software.
* Floppy port - This port allows the connection of a second floppy drive.
* Monitor port - This port allows connection to Atari-made monitors or other monitors with the appropriate cable.

These are just a few of the many ways to expand or enhance the ST internally and externally, with many products still being designed to this day.

Below are links to lists of various types of peripheral available for the ST range.
