Cambridge Systems Technology (CST) was a company formed in the early 1980s by ex-Torch Computers engineers David Oliver and Martin Baines, to produce peripherals for the BBC Micro, and later, with Graham Priestley, Sinclair QL microcomputers.[1][2] Products included IEEE 488, floppy disk and SCSI interfaces.[2][3]

CST floppy disk interface and Expanderam for Sinclair QL

Following the demise of the Sinclair QL in 1986, CST began producing the Thor series of QL-compatible personal computers.[2] These had limited commercial success, and CST had ceased trading by the end of the decade.
