  1. I bought a clone 386 25Mhz PC in 1992, I bought my first ST when they first hit the store shelves, I was waiting on it. I got rid of my old Atari stuff in the late 90's, wish I had kept the PS3000. I now have a 1040 STF, Mega ST, MegaSTE and a TT030, I also built one of remake boards.
  2. Sure if it was in the form of the MegaSTE / TT030, otherwise I will just use the MiST, MiSTerFPGA or one of my real Atari computers.
  3. What kind of speeds do you get with a ZuluSCSI vs. a real hard drive?
  4. Did you get the recent one that went for 456 Euros? It was tempting for me but I just had a big surprise bill, I was surprised to see it sell so low with a Matrix M128 graphics card.
  5. The newer boards are better, I see you have one of the older gold boards, I saw complaints about that one. I built a rev. C1 board and it was easy to solder and I also think it had more stuff already soldered on it.
  6. There is no way I would pay $200 for a keyboard for a Mega ST, I Only paid $260 for the Mega STE I bought recently and that included a keyboard. I know the Mega ST keyboard is supposed to be nicer but I see Megas going for decent prices with a keyboard. The same thing is happening with prices on Amiga keyboards too, just have to wait for a decent deal and grab it as soon as it lists. I see lots of keyboards being parted out with individual keys getting sold too, I really hope people are not just buying working keyboards to sell keys one off.
  7. I hate Windows 10, I just like that people are stil making new software for old computers or to emulate old computers. I never bought Gemulator but I remember seeing and Talking to Darek at the old Atari computers shows in California.
  8. The big box Amigas, like Ataris higher end models could use video cards for higher resolutions, the software market was gone for both Atari and Amiga and the PC market steamrolled over everything else. Mac only survived because Microsoft saved Apple back in 1997, now Apple is bigger than Microsoft thanks to the iPhone.
  9. He worked for Microsoft back in the Windows 3.1 days, so what. I just was using his softmac program to create a drive image and decided to check his webpage, I saw he is releasing a new version, if you had just looked you would have seen he posted in May that version 10 was coming of all his emulators.. http://emulators.com/secrets.htmNow if you dont care then fine.
  10. I see Gemulator mentioned is this thread, I noticed that Darek is still around and has been working on updated versions of his emulators.
  11. Very cool, always nice to see new stuff to keep our Ataris alive.
  12. I believe you are seeing prices with VAT added for Europe, when I log in it shows a price of $231.23 U.S. dollars. I believe my mist was $192 back when I bought it with about $30 more for shipping.
  13. My brother made a hardware interface for an Atari ST, added stepper motors to a manual mill and built an Atari ST controlled CNC mill. I used to do a lot of flyers for people in Pagestream on my Atari ST.
  14. I had problems with mine when I first got it with one of the Amiga cores on some monitors but the AGA core always worked for me, I have a BENQ 702A and an old Samsung Syncmaster 914V. i also had issues with some other non Amiga cores, Atari ST and Mac core work fine although I sometimes have to adjust screen positions when changing cores. I bought my MiST a couple of years ago and I am not sure what the newer version differences are. I have a Raspberry Pi 3 setup with Ambian and while it is impressive for a $35 computer, it doesnt feel like real hardware to me, the MiST does seem almost like a real classic computer to me. I also have the FPGA Arcade board, it does RTG graphics but it is seriously lacking in cores compared to the MiST.
  15. There was an A600 up on Ebay a few days ago with a buy it now price of $175, I have a couple of Amigas already so I didnt jump on it. I dont imagine it lasted very long.
