Hi folks,
Sorry to chip in late, but I recently bought an Atari 1040 STf with mono monitor. I was pretty impressed by Jookie's drive unit (using a Raspberry Pi) so put in an order. Price seems reasonable considering prices of external floppy & hard drives in e-Bay. I live in Western Australia so freight is a killer. I'm also waiting on a VGA adapter for my LCD screen (mono only) and am contemplating TOS 1.04 upgrade as I can then load ST files from my PC and it's USB floppy drive.
I thought of trying to build my own USB stick interface but it's cheaper to buy from the techies. My hardware skills are very rudimentary. C coding is non-existent.
Keep up the info as I'm learning heaps. Thanks :-)
