+Zeptari Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Stupid Falcon question: Does the falcon have standard atari joystick ports? The pictures i've seen look like the ports on the left side have extra connectors/pins. And under the hood in the place where they are on my 1040 is nothing..? Is the Falcon missing the ST's mouse/joystick ports? Just wondering.. Here's the list i have of Falcon owners on AA so far: Name: tjlazer Location: Tacoma Name: Paolo Location: Italy Name: DarkLord Location: Prestonsburg, KY USA anyone else... I just keep track in case i have more Falcon questions for you guys... -Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 The Falcon has the same 9 pin ports underneath that the rest of the ST line has. It also has the two 15 pin 'extended' controller ports on the left side of the machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows the underside ports missing... strange.. Someday I hope to own one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearrr Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I have a standard Falcon 14 mb/FPU and IDE to CF adapter, using a regular Compact Flash card as harddrive. I have also removed the internal speaker and cut the wires to the fan, so I have a dead silent Falcon! Well, except for the diskdrive.

danwinslow Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 They are pretty cheap, like 30 bucks or so. Any decent online comp store will have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Zeptari Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) They are pretty cheap, like 30 bucks or so. Any decent online comp store will have them. WOW!!! I though is was made special just for the Falcon! That's awesome! And the Falcon just sees it as just another ide device? Or do you need some program to get the falcon to use the CF-IDE combo?

krupkaj Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) It should work as standard disk. But I was not able to make bootable drive. If somebody has such CF please can you give me some hint? Edited August 18, 2006 by krupkaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearrr Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I bought my CF -> IDE adapter on Ebay, from a Hong Kong seller for about 8 $. It's booting without any trouble and I used the old Atari HD drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jens Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Quite interesting to put a compact flash device into the Falcon. But how big in data size can you get them for a reasonable amount of money? bearr Location: Machine: 'silent' Falcon danwinslow Several CT63 equipped Falcons DarkLord Prestonsburg, KY USA CT60 equipped Falcon @ 95 mhz with 260 megs of ram.
