ST = SGS-Thomson Microelectronics:
http://www.st.com
The same French/Italian company that bought INMOS and the
transputer. They now build the ST6 range of
microcontrollers, and the CPU chip used in the Dreamcast,
amongst many others.
They also bought Mostek (not MOS Technologies), builder of
the NVRAM chips used in Sun workstations as real-time clock
chips. And now suffering from dead batteries.
