tjlazer

ok spend like 5 hours trying to get this damn thing working and it was a pain. I ended up getting it to work, somewhat. I could not partition it with AHDI V5 or V6. Nothing worked. I have an old version of HDDRIVER V7, that saw the drive and was able to format it and partition it into two 512MB partitions. But then I hit a brick wall. Could not get the drives to work or show up. I was able to see the partitions in HDDRIVER but was not able to install the driver or get the drives to show up in GEM. Tried HDI and I was able to install the driver to C: and then the drive was able to boot. But could not see D: Then I went back and deleted partitions and set them up again in HDDRIVER and repeated it with HDI, and now I can mount C: and D: Seems to work ok now, but I am getting random intermittent lock ups and errors. Sometimes the booting is slow, other times faster. Copied a bunch of PRG games to the HD and they did not load. Was getting a TOS 35 error. Then I cold booted and tried to copy some over again and now they load. Weird. I read that using a shorter SCSI cable helps, going to try that next.

Trying to get a SCSI2SD 5.1 running on my Mega STE with built in HD adapter. Won't see it. I have a 4GB SD card on it. Even tried to set the SCSI 0 to 1GB and it still won't see it. Tried AHDI V6 and HD Driver V7. What parameters does it need to work? SCSI 2 enabled or not? Parity on or off? I set Termination on since it's the only device. Haven't tried a shorter SCSI cable, but it won't even see mine right now so I don't think that's it. EDIT: put it into SLOW mode, SCSI 2 OFF, PARITY OFF and it now sees it. HDDRIVER is formatting it now. Wish me luck.

Here is a rare NTSC version of Rambo III for the ST! All the ones I found online were PAL. https://mega.nz/#!KyBliIpT!8hhGCmljkcxPY7bR9CnyZ97gUrrakw2vEXdttAF24N0

Did you buy in USA or Europe? How much was it? Do tell

I take it this doesn't work on Atari800WinPlus? There is no background, even in PAL.

Pretty cool version! Pity it ends with error and the shooting is pretty laggy.

1040STf keyboard? I might have one.

Since I have a TT also, I need another set. Updated list. rickerbh : 2 remowilliams : 2 jcnventura : 2 Bama : 4 bevenais : 1 tjlazer : 2 green led kit + 2 yellow led/cable/grommet/connector for HD

Very nice, thanks for sharing!

The first thing you should do is tear into it and reseat all socketted chips.

I will take 1 in green. Also if you have one in yellow (just the led/grommet with connector) for the HD side that would be nice too. Let me know when they are ready to ship and where to send payment. The list: rickerbh : 2 remowilliams : 2 jcnventura : 2 Bama : 4 bevenais : 1 tjlazer : 1 green led kit + 1 yellow led/cable/grommet/connector for HD

Gave it a quick go. Found a bug. You get stuck when you hit the bottom right of a bush. Was able to replicate it a few times.

Very nice game!

I’d say $500 to $1,000. Especially if there is no battery leak damage. The nicer the system, no yellowing, no leaks. The more of course!

Very nice work, looking forward to the final game.

B&C Computervisions were selling like 5 NOS top cases for $50 recently on ebay. Hmmmmm.

I have two Atari 1200XL computers and both keyboards did not work anymore. I thought the mylars were bad. When Best Electronics released their new ones I bought two. When I had time to work on these I found that if I hit each key hard many times they started to work! I then spent a while hitting each key really hard 50 times or so until it started to work. I did this to each key and eventually they all were working! I still have my mylars incase I need them later, but for now this method worked for me!

I read some have sanded down these new labels on a belt sander or something to make them thinner. Not easy to do I would think.

Yes that is the bad thing about those. Some have sanded the label down to make it thinner to make it fit better. That would be a little tricky to do, I wanted to try it on mine. I have a 600XL, but haven't gotten around to trying it. I don't want to install it with it sticking out. In the mean time I had someone print me a label that looks close.

Oh do you mind sharing your disk?

The US models didn't have external monitor port and these only have 16k. Easy to do a 64k RAM upgrade on them though. So they are RF which is not very good. 130XE would fetch a lot more $.

Lol at the mouse! I guess the person who set it up was Computer illiterate

Good job. It’s a little faster I found. I really like it

The SF314 works fine on the 520ST. And I do recommend you get one or swap out the drive with a PC mech. Will have to modify the case though. Chinon FZ357 or Epson SMD 300 work well. You can then copy files to PC FAT12 format 720k disks.
