  1. I am not married so I am not limited to what my setup can be. I moved to North Dakota in January and finally got my stuff delivered March 5th and now have it setup. I have a very long living room and half of it is used up by computers. I' will go from right to left from the front door of the house. You can see the coat closet on the right side of the following pic and the front door is to the right of that. I'll Start with the PC. 4 years ago it was the top of the line PC. The only other thing to mention is the NAS. That little box that is down and to the right of the calendar hanging on the wall and has the SuperCard Pro and paperwork on top (still need to get that setup). It has 48 terabytes and stores all the Atari files and programs, among other things. To the left of the above station is another computer desk that hosts my Falcon and TT. The Falcon is a 14 Meg ram, 32 Gig PATA SSD with Blowup Video clone and a SyQuest EZ135 and a SyQuest 200 drive attached. Net USB not pictured with it. The TT is 10 meg ST ram and 32 meg TT Ram with a Cyrus video card and a 300 meg SCSI boot drive and a NETUSB. Below the desk, you see a white tower (for details see this thread). This is also attached to the TT. It has a SyQuest 44, SyQuest 88, SyQuest 200, SyQuest EZ135, SCSI CD and a SCSI2SD adapter. The SCSI2SD is configured for 4 1 gig drives and 8 500 meg partitions. I partition everything for TOS 1.04 for compatibility reasons. And lastly, an I7 PC for use in transferring files between all my Atari's, 8-bit and ST. On the left end of the desk from the picture above you can see the library of SyQuest EZ135 and SyQuest 200 removeable HDs. You can Also see the USB cable coiled up on the left that goes to the SIO to PC for the 8-bit. It gets plugged in when needed. The next 2 stations to the left are the 8-bit station and the Intellivision station. My daily driver 8-bit is a CSS 320XE with US+ OS/Standard OS/FIXXL OS. I cannot say enough about this computer. I would rather use this over my U1M 130xe. Attached to it is a Commodore 1702 Monitor, Black Box, 400 megs of HD Space (yes real spinning HDs), DUAL SIO to PC, Happy 1050, Standard XF551 and a 720k XF551. The little tower (more details in this thread) to the left of the station has 400 megs of Winchester HD space on 4 drives and two Adaptec 4070s. I also built the stand that the monitor sits on. To the left of that is my Intellivision station. Under the unit cover is a 2609A modified for component audio/video. On top of the 2609A is the LTO Flash, a Multi-Cart for the Intellivision (Details here) To the left of that unit is an Intellivision flashback that has been modified to the Ultimate Flashback (details in this thread). The next station to the left has a Mega ST and a Mega STE. The Mega ST on the left has the AdSpeed 16mhz upgrade with 4 megs ram and an ST to VGA video. Attached to it are the SyQuest EZ135 (still need a 3 1/2 faceplate) and a modified MegaFile 44. The MF44 came to me with all the guts removed and an AdSCSI adapter installed in its place. I removed the 44 meg drive mechanism and replaced with it a 200 meg mech and added a SCSI2SD adapter on the second SCSI port (details for second port usage in this thread). The SCSI2SD is configured for 4 1 gig drives and 8 500 meg partitions with one of them being the boot partition. Man it boots fast. The Mega STE has a 300 meg boot drive and 4 megs ram and an ST to VGA video. Attached by way of a Link 2 are the SyQuest EZ135 and SyQuest 200 with an added SCSI2SD adapter installed in the second bay. The SCSI2SD is configure for 4 1 gig drives and 8 500 megs partitions. You may have noticed that all STs have SyQuest EZ135s and SyQuest 200s attached to them. This makes it easier to transfer files between them. One more thing to mention, The Atari and the Intellivision stations all have their own power strip to run those particular stations. I do this so that only the station I am using has electricity running through it.
  2. I use The Ultra Speed + OS from a 130xe I bought from CSS with it installed. It seems every disk I run is in high speed, whether it was formatted that way or not even when booting the disk (games and such) or just reading it. That includes the special Atari formatted disks that seem to run faster even on original hardware. I use Chipmunk and The Backup Master. Their copy programs run in highspeed. I have not tried it with the Happy software.
  3. After checking, I found that I do have Fantasy Puzzle and have added it.
  4. Titles get added when I receive them. Rick Dynamite got sent to my old address so it might be awhile before I get it. Hopefully Rev will read about my new address for three other titles before shipping them.
  5. Updated for Omega Race, Fantasy and A Tale of Dragons and Swords
  6. I have three black boxes. Only using one right now. it is attached to this: Atari Hard Driver Tower - Atari 8-Bit Computers - AtariAge Forums
  7. False! You do not need an adapter to add an SSD to a Falcon. This one connects directly to the Falcon cable, just like the Kingston I have in mine. Amazon.com: 32GB KingSpec 2.5-inch PATA/IDE SSD Solid State Disk (MLC Flash) SM2236 Controller: Computers & Accessories
  8. Nowhere in my post does it say that, you said it won't work with larger capacity cards. But, the way the above reads, someone could be confused about how large the capacity of the card can be. I just wanted to clarify it.
  9. Just so you have correct information. The Mega STE does have the 1 gig limit, but that does not translate to needing low capacity cards. I am using a 32 Gig UHC 10 in a SCSI to SD on my Mega STE internally. Yes, only 1 gig is used, but as you see I can use larger cards to get that 1 gig. The SCSI2SD utility allows me to set up "DRIVES" on any card. I have to limit the drives and capacity using the utility to make that 32 gig card look like just 1 gig to the ST. So any card will work with these, you just have to use the utility to limit it.
  10. for the Falcon and the TT it is a direct SCSI Cable. For other STs (including the 'wedge') I use an ICD Link 2 (SCSI to ACSI) on the same SCSI cable I use for the TT. The Falcon uses a different cable.
  11. Sorry it took so long. But I am not able to visit the forums like used to be able to. Here is the set that was labeled 3.09. Just recreate the disks and install. I do not have a floppy on the PC so I was not able to make .st files. I tested the install after I copied the files from the disks and re-created with blank disks. I then transferred the files to the PC using the UIP Tool. I then transferred back. re-created the disks and test the install again. It all worked great. MWC v3.09.zip

  13. Tunnel Runner from the Atari 2600 and an attempt at a remake
  14. Updated to include Wizard of Wor and Cosmic Avenger. We reached 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  15. Thanks for the comments everyone! @MasterMotorola No plans to add any of those. Each computer that I will attach it too (there are many) has its own floppy. The TT and Falcons have 1.44. I believe my STE does too and 720k for the STs is just fine. I have 1 Original ComosEX and 2 of the 3.0s so I probably will never get a Gotek or similar.
  16. I/Elektronite had it up for a demo a couple years ago at PRGE.
  17. Just an FYI. You should be able to plug the tracking number into your home country postal service (if it was shipped by post office) and get tracking information, at least you can in the US.
