Lynxman Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Good News everyone! I made some pics from my Falcon. Many years ago (more than i can count with my fingers...) i bought a Sparrow case at a Atari fair in Germany. Since this time it was the new aerie for the Falcon. As you can see, it is more dark and the slot for the floppy is the same as for the 1040ST. Please see the pics for details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB Positive Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Ooooh... interesting though - no badge. How hard would it be to make a "Sparrow" badge for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wongck Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 colours are opposite in Falcon - keyboard darker than the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikro Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Have finally found a nice one: Oooh, lucky you. I've got a working Sparrow but "only" with a Falcon keyboard. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as... Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 mikro... You will try the test sparrow with ct6x -please try .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Damn, USA one too? I can't even find a USA Falcon keyboard. I have been thinking of getting a 3D printer and then any old ST keyboard can be a Falcon / Sparrow keyboard. Though I have also debated looking into building a fully mechanical keyboard as well.

Xebec Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Is the fan at the bottom unique to sparrow or does Falcon have that also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Falcon has a fan under the memory board. I disabled mine since it was loud and pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xebec Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Falcon has a fan under the memory board. I disabled mine since it was loud and pointless. Fair enough. the Mega STE PSU fan was also annoying.. i ended up replacing with a Noctua .. thanks for info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikro Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 mikro... You will try the test sparrow with ct6x -please try .... Will do as soon as I'm back in Europe (a few months left...). In the meantime I just repeat my offer, I'm offering a Falcon keyboard (DE/UK/US variants available) for a Sparrow one. I remember seeing many Falcons offered on eBay with Sparrow keyboard, there must be one available somewhere. :-P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
