Hi folks, I was off-list for many years. And, my ST know-how has so faded after all those years since the mid/late 80s. But as I have an idea, a plan to create an image for use with real STs and emulators, where I will try to create both an TOS and an SMS2 partition, make it bootable, put all my 80s/90s written ST and SMS2 (Sinclair QL QDOS operation system for ATARI ST) software on it, I already tried last winter to build such a thing, still struggling... And, IIRC standard TOS/GEM has no HDD driver built in, a driver is needed, right? And from googling, some drivers are commercial, some a free. So questions like "Best free HDD driver to use for an Image for Ultrasatan MINI or Hatari?" came up. Thank you for advice. And something like a step by step guide for dummies would be awesome. Best regards, Urs

Gave it a go on my PAL Jag with Skunk. Yes, it's fun! But I have experienced a weird behaviour. See https://youtu.be/sxg9FNA2SNo Weird, really weird! Did anybody else experienced this?

I've put some 47 pictures and two more videos online. See: https://plus.google.com/104042128125238901905

Had a some great days in Germany this weekend! Special thanks to Björn and the helping hands for making this event possible and becoming a true highlight every year in my Retro Computing & Gaming life. Here's the walkaround video with comments: https://youtu.be/WETD23apBnQ

Hi folks, due to family reasons I’ve been offline of the ATARI community for almost half a year now. Since a few weeks now I find time, passion and most importantly joy for my Retro Computing & Gaming hobbies. Yesterday was a holiday where I live and I was able to edit and publish my videos of the 2014 E-JAGFEST. See the new YouTube-Playlist „E-JAGFEST 2014 - LYNX is 25!“ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPA5-0Eb09k&list=PLQHAWWG2O0e0EJniM6wk-jqSAIJCJZJm1 Cheers, Urs

Here's my last contribution to this thread: A year ago on today's date there was the release of Jag is 20 The Movie http://youtu.be/z4hXwTF43qY The same weekend saw the big Jag is 20 party at the ejagfest 2014. Here's the complete playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQHAWWG2O0e3aGNyo6FmwhfAwvOEerDoN Jag rules!

Finally here are my pictures of this year’s LYNX-is-25 party: https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=C250D8748980CE5A&id=C250D8748980CE5A%215179&sc=photos A rather bold statement: If some Jag-ers can make it to drive almost 1400km for a jagfest or even fly in, then why the hell you guys stay at home? Jagfests only happen because, through and for people. Jag rules! Stay cool...

Or what about step back in time to last year's Jag-is-20 ejagfest... https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=C250D8748980CE5A&id=C250D8748980CE5A%215178&sc=photos

For the meantime enjoy a ride back in time to 2011: https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=C250D8748980CE5A&id=C250D8748980CE5A%215177&sc=photos

Back home from ejagfest 2014. Driving home was 5:47 hours in one go for 650.3km. Altogether it was a journey of 1362.4km. Summarized it was an awesome weekend!

Hi again, in a nutshell: I’m a Swiss Jag enthusiast and collector since 1995 who tries to combine other hobbies such as travelling, music, science fiction, air & space, photography and video with Retro Computing & Video Gaming. All my Retro Computing & Video Gaming activities are without any commercial interest. My QLvsJAGUAR YouTube channel is not commercialized. As History and Sci-Fi are two of my other hobbies, here’s another one under the topic “Today, a year ago…”: http://youtu.be/1rpXeoKZm1Y Enjoy!

Packed and car loaded. ready for the journey. CU tomorrow...
