I forgot about the other game Downfall that was for the Falcon 030, which can also use the Jagpad controller. YouTube video link below: Atari Falcon 030 (UK) Demonstration using Jagpad controller with a few games

There was a free game released in late 2009 called r0x, where you dodged asteroids made especially for the 4MB STe and the Enhanced Joystick Ports. Very addictive and well made game and even works on the Falcon 030, although the online demos do not show it at its best, e.g. the super smooth parallax scrolling. The joystick to use in those special ports is the Jagpad, which was very cheap to buy when I got one ten years ago from Ebay UK. r0x (Atari STE) (2009) - Official webpage with download links Another free STe game that came out recently is this, and it is multiplayer using all the availble ports etc. FROGS for ATARI STe V1.2 - Webpage with download link Another free 1MB STe game from 2017 is a homebrew of the classic Pole Position arcade game, which is close to perfect with 60fps and full use of DMA chip. https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?p=327993&sid=adb2f12868cb27f3d91fd73e50cb542f#p327993Pole Position arcade conversion with download link YouTube Demo Video - Atari ST Pole Position - release candidate 27 September 2017

There was also the Hydra ethernet cartridge board from around 2010 which was the NetUSBee minus the USB port, and the USB had barely any uses due to lack of hardware drivers. Might as well buy one and have a muck around with it and then sell it on to someone else.

After watching jookie's videos showing his device, my mind is blown by the greatness of it!

Good old simbo!

I have a HxC SD Floppy Emulator but I also covered my bases, by getting a IBM Thinkpad G40 (barely used and like new) which has an internal floppy drive and DVD/CD drive, plus Parallel Port so this makes an ideal companion computer for my retro computers. I already own a couple of desktop PCs with internal floppy drives, plus I have some Dell external USB floppy drives which work with 720KB and 1.44MB disks.

I bought mine from France though.

Wow I must have been ultra lucky getting mine for the equivalent of $83 at todays rate of conversion (I got mine in 2011). Mine is a 4MB + MC68001 FPU + 120MB HDD French model that I converted into a UK model (I replaced the TOS to 2.06 UK & keyboard), although it lacks the RF socket on the back; apparently models intended for certain markets had this feature removed. It's a great computer and might even become my main Atari

Not forgetting the rather good http://atarimusic.net/

Wow you should be very proud of yourself indeed!

On a different point, I think I have read that the USA Falcons performed better with audio/MIDI applications like Cubase Audio, due to the better components in certain parts of it.

Hey sounds like good old Diamond Dave and I assume Van Halen

I have a dual floppy drive but it does not work with my STE, so I guess it is meant for the original 520ST shown in the post above? The photos in the URL below are of my drive with the top cover removed. http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=20915&p=185537&hilit=dual+floppy#p185537

I got my dark coloured one for £5 a couple of years back from a UK supplier, who is also on Ebay.

You sound to know something we do not perhaps?

Nice but what is the 5.25" floppy drive connected to?

Thanks!

C'mon where are the rats nest of cables and hardware that are always around setups like this! Haha! Nice looking setup though

Jagwar? Oh he means Jaguar!

No this is one that needs scanning at optimum quality, so if you could do that and upload it or arrange something with ThumpNugget that would be good.

Some 3D CAD software uses it I believe and also quite a few demos do too. Other audio software like the Zero-X editor have a specific Falcon version that uses the FPU as well.

The first hard drive I ever saw was a 20MB model hooked up to an Amiga A600 back in 1991, and belonged to a guy from St. Albans just outside London. The second drive I saw in 1994 was a 300MB connected to a Atari ST for music MIDI files and Cubase; he lived in South Yorkshire I think. The first PC with one that I saw was in 1996, in a Intel Pentium 100MHz based PC. The third time was in 1997 when I bought a Fostex DMT8 v2 standalone digital multitrack recorder for my home studio, and this came with a 540MB 3.5" IDE drive, which I later upgraded to 3.2GB in 1999. After that a friend with a Compaq PC in Xmas 1997 with a 2GB drive. So to summarise, hard drive ownership in my experience was a mere handful of drives for the whole 1990s! I suppose most people left the 16-bit floppy based home micros behind in the early to mid 1990s, and replaced them with CD based consoles. From the late 1990s onwards, I found that hard drive ownership was standard everywhere.

How do you use the HxC with it inside the ST? You can't see the display or get to the buttons!!! I asked the developer if they would incorporate an on screen software menu system, and to their credit they did so in the following update. Shortly after this the same feature was also added for Amstrad CPC users

Ahhh so that must be why my Mega STE does not have the RF socket on the rear of the case! My Mega STE is French too.
