  1. B&C Computer Visions (myatari.com) has them after I pointed out they were missing from their webstore on eBay. Direct to eBay Auction https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rainbow-TOS-1-4-1-04-US-for-the-Atari-Mega-ST-520-1040ST-2-Chip-Mask-ROM-ICs/133230528296?hash=item1f05288728:g:okYAAOSwn~tdwdit B&C Computer Visions (myatari) on Ebay http://www.ebaystores.com/Atari-Sales-and-Service
  2. This is what you are looking for: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-520-ST-Computer-Power-Supply-P-N-CO70099-Tested-Free-Shipping/283659479934?hash=item420b6c2b7e:g:iWUAAOSw5r9driG4 Should you want to buy one. I have no idea what size that connector is.
  3. The Mega File 30 and 60 used Winchester Drives (ST506, 2 connectors) and the bridge board inside is basically an Adaptec 4070. They are not removeable. The Mega File 44 is SCSI (1 connector). These are removeable. Interchanging disks between the Megafile 36/60 and the Megafile 44 is impossible without replacing everything but the power supply inside the case. I am currently converting a Mega File 30 from using an actual hard drive to using a Drem. I have had it operational with two 110 meg virtual hard drives running, but I want to push the limits and am trying configurations to get the maximum megs out of it.
  4. I am looking for short ST top case. This is the ST with an External power supply and no floppy. My top case is cracked badly. Please PM me if you have one. Shipping to California USA.
  5. I own 3 of these (and 6 unbranded that are SCSI, not ACSI) and about 60-75 of the disks that go into them. I use a NetUSB to transfer files via network to an Atari with one and then I use the Megafile 44 disks to transfer files between multiple systems. I also use them for backups. In fact I have one disk that I have setup with all the common programs that I want on all 8 of my ST line computers. Makes for setting up a new C Hard Drive easy. Included items on the image Terradesk HDDriver 10.16 UIP278 ST Zip Warp 9 Various drivers for specific machines Various CPXs and accessories. Desktop.inf in medium mode I get the hard drive to boot, copy all the files onto the hard drive and then install the Terradesk application to load at boot. One last item: you can add an additional Hard Drive to that Mega file 44. I documented it here. All three of my Megafile 44s and 2 unbranded ones have additional hard drives.
  6. cbmeeks is correct. I paid $1,300 for one of mine and everything worked. I paid $800 for a Sonovista Falcon but the IDE interface does not work. The SCSI port does work so I can still boot from a HD. Sonovista Falcons had custom black case tops and were used for visual displays for television shows.
  7. Rev will announce them and put them up for sale on his web site. I sent off my request for William's games. I only add the games to the list, after I receive them.
  8. Added League of Light and Robot Rubble, Intellivision Revolution version
  9. I got home yesterday and found that this idea will not work. The female power connector on the drive has 7 positions, not 5. Now to check into possibly changing out the connector on the drive to fit a 5 position Male connector. That is if I cannot find the power supply I need for it.
  10. I know nothing about these power supplies. Do the male and female versions of the power supplies deliver the same power over the same pins? In other words can I use a gender changer to make a female power supply a male and then would that work on a female Floppy Drive? Or are they not basically the same thing? Would something like this work? or a cable that is male on both ends?
  11. I would like to buy a working US floppy power supply for the SF354 or the SF314. There are two versions of this power supply. I am looking for one where the drive connector is male on the power supply (the pins on the power supply connector go into the holes on the drive connector). I am in California USA
  12. I bought a 520ST (external Power Supply), SF354 Single sided Floppy and SF314 Double sided Floppy. All for Parts, so not expecting them to work. The ST did not boot but did have power. I will look closer this weekend. The SF354 works like a champ. The SF314 has different power connection than my other SF314 and the SF354. I have a power supply with the male connector, I need one that has a female connector.
  13. Got a good start on the Tower case for SCSI devices. Need to add hard drives, but I am waiting for some 3.5 to 5.25 adapters. That is a Windows XP CD in the CD Drive. Over 600 megs. I guess I need the CD ROM suite to read it as a drive. It does show up though. You can see the full tower in my previous post.
  14. Tower Case to set up SyQuest 44 Drive, CD ROM and 5 Hard Drives. $75 4 1 Gig thoroughly tested Hard Drives (not for the Tower Case) I will use these in existing enclosures and move those drives to the Tower Case. $45 ea. 9 Syquest 44 Disks. approx. $6 each. I use these to transfer files between Ataris and for archiving storage (I have about 50 of them). And they are cheap.
  15. I use NetUSB to get files into my Atari. I own two. With the new UIPTool (new version this year) software transfer speed is good enough. Yesterday, I transferred a file that was nearly 1.7 megs with it. It took awhile, but only like 15-25 seconds, was not really counting. I keep a PC and my Falcon on the same desk. My desk has a keyboard drawer that pulls out for the PC keyboard and mouse. I set the Falcon on the top above that drawer. Two monitors. One for the falcon right in front and one to the side for the PC. This makes file transfer extremely easy. I usually do not setup megs and megs of stuff to transfer, just transfer what I need at the time. Seems to work well. BTW, my Falcon has a 32 GIG PATA SSD in it, no changing of cards necessary. You can find the UIPTool in the Pinned Links Thread. The NetUSB link is in the same thread at Lotharek's. https://atariage.com/forums/topic/264652-atari-st-tt-falcon-links/

  20. I bought this MegaFile 30 because it has an after market switch install. I wanted to find out what it was as the owner was unwilling to open it to find out (one of the screws were sealed from a service record in 1993 and he did not want to break it). I was thinking it could be a power switch for a second HD installed in it (let the first one boot then power the second one as these power supplies are not strong enough for two drives to boot at the same time.). But alas, the switch is used to change the ID of the device from 0 to 1. It has an ST238R (33MB) Hard Drive divided into 3 partitions. It works good, but has nothing else special about it. I will review the files on it this weekend, reformat into 1 partition and attach it to a production machine.
  21. Not sure why you would need a version 1 Satan rather than Ultra Satan The Ultra can be found here: https://lotharek.pl/
  22. I have also updated my signature to reflect 127 Official Releases and added Gyruss to my collection.
