    I do have 2 floppy drives, one built in and an additional external drive also. I don't have the second drive hooked up all the time though. Only use it on the games that you can't install to the hard drive. I have all the adventure games I have installed to the USD like Monkey Island and Op Stealth (James Bond : The Covert Affair), also have things like Knights of the Sky and Their Finest Hour installed but F19 from Microprose won't allow a Hard Drive install so I hook the extra floppy drive up to play it with minimal disk swapping. It comes in handy occasionally but its a bit of a pain requiring its own power so have to connect a kettle lead to the end before I can plug it in, will probably be able to clip the end off it actually and just put a plug onto it.

    I joined here and Atari Forum at the same time after getting my STe for Christmas gone. Was looking for info on setting up the USD I got and how to go about it. Between the 2 forums I found here a bit easier to talk with people, Atari Forum feels more technical. So I decided to stick around here with it being a great source of easy to digest info. Community here are decent folk all of us with a common interest, Atari or whatever else! I also REALLY like the way the whole site is setup, easy to find what you are looking for, easy to navigate round, can't ask for anything else really.

    You can get TOS 1.04 (6 or 2 Chips version for the STf) from Atari ST Freakz, he dispatches all over the world. Same goes for upgrading the ram, you can get a board there that allows you to add SIMMS to a STf machine, you can either get the board with or without the SIMMS. http://st-freakz.co.uk/page7.html

    Initially I would buy a basic ST to TV scart cable as with that you will get sound and picture, doing this will just to get you going so you can spend a little time looking for a monitor. Rather than spending on SCSI hard drives like already mentioned I would say hold off and get a Ultrasatan Disc (Get the drive from Lotharek and get PP's Hard Disk driver), it only took a few days through UPS to get to the UK from Poland and PP emails you his driver quickly once you send payment through Paypal. Literally just go bare minimum with spend initially, you don't need a lot to just get a picture onto a TV, once you have it running this way then start looking into the extra items you are after.

    Tried out the Steam in home streaming, you can stream non steam shortcuts if you have them added. Excellent addition to the service

    If you have a floppy drive (internal is preferable) you can write a few .st images back onto disk using Omniflop. If you have an external USB floppy drive, depending on the controller it uses you should be able to write the 720k discs but nothing above or below that. Its how I started out until I got my USD, I have an Iomega external USB floppy drive and can write the 720k images, anything below 720k (single sided stuff) just won't load on my ST, anything above 720k and it can't write the full image. If you have an internal floppy drive you will be able to write any size disc just fine with Omniflop or ppera floimg (I personally prefer Omniflop) You can also try grabbing a few of the DBug and ppera hard drive adapted games (720k or less in size, format the disc on your ST) and just copy and paste them onto a 720k formatted disc, Windows will try and tell you to format the disc but just cancel that off, once copied over you can run quite a few of them direct from a disc, just make sure you look at the ram requirements, anything above your 1mb won't work.
  21. IainGrimm
    If you get the Automation disks and ppera floppy image runner you can just run the images directly off the SD card also, literally drag the .st image and drop it on the image runner program and the compilation will fire up just fine. Just bear in mind you will need a few blank discs, if you are playing an rpg for example you will need to save it at intervals. http://steem.atari.st/automation.htm http://atari.8bitchip.info/imgrun.php
