    Hi Jorge. Just a couple of years ago I purchased a new old stock 1040STFM mother board from Best Electronics. I got the inexpensive version with no chips in the sockets. I had a bunch on ST's with issues at the time and simply stole those chips to populate the NOS board I purchased. Maybe contact them for a quote.

    Hi again! Could be a good ideia but I live in Europe, the postage and taxs to import would be a deal killer! Would be nice to have an NOS mobo but Customs will kill the deal :(

    Yesterday, I opened the atari but didn't removed the shield, I saw 4 slots near the power supply, the top two with what I think that is the memory upgrade, the cards were glued in the right side, near edge of case

    Eu experimentava tirar o meio mega e ficar "só" com dois megabytes.

     

    são extremamente raras as aplicações que obrigavam a mais de 1MB de RAM e muito poucas as que não obrigando, tiravam partido da memória extra. E isto para software profissional, tipo Calamus ou programas de música.

     

    0.5MB pode ser limitativo para alguns (poucos) jogos, mas 1MB chega perfeitamente... o que pode acontecer, caso seja um STfm é que a expansao de memoria é soldada e não permite mudanças... aí será mais complicado de resolver.

     

    (para que não haja comentários dos restantes foristas, vou passar para ingles)

     

    Checking inside if everything is in place and properly seated is a good first step.

    Then, check which type of memory upgrade it has and if it´s modular or soldered.

     

    more information about which type of ST will also help others to give better answers... :)

    Boas, este veio com 2.5 Mb de Ram, joystick, e umas 20 disketes. Além disso os 80€ já reflectem os portes. O Atari está mesmo como novo. A referencia á troika foi mesmo pq me apeteceu

    Hi to all, I just bought my first Atari, it came from UK to Portugal (Troika land :thumbsdown: ). When I turned it on the first screen was like that boot_Atari.jpg After boot, the desktop came like this: Desktop_atari.jpg all messed up and barely reading the options presented. I need some help from the ST Gurus to solve this... I spend 80€ on this and now it is just a pile of junk.

    Many thanks to anyone that can give me a hint to solve this,

    Jorge

     

    Boas, é bom ver mais um Português por aqui. somos poucos... mas não percebi a necessidade da referência à troika :P

     

    Quanto ao Atari, as sugestões dadas são boas e abrir, limpar e certificar que está tudo no sitio e bem encaixado. são maquinas de guerra.

     

    Estou um bocado surpreendido quanto ao custo, normalmente compram-se STs normais no eBay por bem menos de 80€....

    Thanks! I will try that...I don't know anything of Atari, it is my first!! But I had a bad start, I hope that the problem is only the chips a little bit off the place, not a problem with RF modulator

    Try the 5cm drop and see if that fixes it. If it does, a good idea will be to open the machine and reseat all chips.
