    Just mentioned it as an alternative I used before, since it wasn't your original question. But worked for me keeping the VGA input for the falcon and the dvi for the ST, while the PC was on the display port. 

    This was a scart to hdmi scaler and then I used an hdmi to dvi to the u2412m.

    Where did you buy that? (realised yours is the ubeswitch)

     

    £60 for the ubeswitch seemed a bit steep by comparison.

     

    I notice even yours Robson, has faint lines. Why is it we can't get that absolutely flawless picture? I've got an RGB scarf cable and I think the picture on a crt looks better! Maybe pair that with an OSSC.

    I agree about pricing. I didn't buy it, since the sources are available I made a batch for myself and friends.

    Yes, even on mine have those lines, this is why I took this many photos. I only showed my montior setup because it's the same model as yours but I don't use any STs with this at all. I have a smaller LCD TV (Syncmaster 940MW) with scart (or CM8833MK2)  if I want decent quality.

    The thing is that something can display the signal, doesn't mean it's the right tool for the job. As you said proper signal conversion needed. But still might not give you the same crystal clean/sharp result you expect. I used scart - HDMI converter (then HDMI-DVI adapter to the monitor) before. I can try to dig out an image if you're interested in seeing that.

    "Water transfer" is water transfer printing or hydrographics. Easier if you look it up this way, there are many videos explaining it . Here is one:

     

     

    This is of course industrial, there are home kits and it's cheap. Just have to research finding the right primer and film (pattern) you need.

     

    My friend (Maarten @Atarilegend) who has Woody nr2 is planning a video about it later this year. I'll share once done.

    The keycaps are painted (dipped for the Woody) and I used my custom made sticker sheets for the letters (I designed them to match the Atari ST style and a company printed them). I had to go with this cheaper DIY option.

    You can try reducing the amount of ram as well, if not yet tried. If you are lucky only one module failed. So just play with 2 modules in the 1st and 3rd slot at a time with any combination. That will put you down to 2mb but might help to find the problem.

    Use this site as reference of numbering the slots.

    Other than that a diag cart is your best friend in this case.

    Would be good to know the settings.

     

    I did have a quick look for you and I had Steem 3.2 installed and worked straight away:

     

    8 MHZ ST / 4MB / Colour (Low/Med Res display), TOS 1.04

     

    Then I downloaded 3.9.1 and got it working too with

     

    STE /8MHz/ 2mb / Colour display, TOS 2.06

     

    The image I got from planetemu (m atariforce version).

    Have a look at these settings and images.

    not all ST compatible though, have a look at the ones starting with SM and SC

     

    SM124 - mono, ST high

    SM125 - mono, ST high

    SC1224 - 12", colour

    SC1435 - stereo 14", colour

     

    My recommendation is SC1435 or not Atari : Phillips 8833 -II, maybe Commodore 1084S. These are the same thing with multiple inputs.

     

    The main question is what do you want to do with the STE?
