    Hi galax -, I took apart my Atari 1040 STfm and all components "look" (save for dust) great - All resistors still have their color codes intact and no capacitors bulging. etc. - I am assuming the module Where you plug in the power cord IS the power supply and even it looks great for the same reasons - it would probably be worth replacing if cost not too high so, Thank you for your diagnosis - Looks like even back then that computers first thing to replace is the PS!

    I did have luck installing Steem and have played around with it, but I still can't figure how to load my Master Tracks Pro floppy to it yet - as mentioned before, when I insert the MTP floppy and press the A drive, it asks if I want to Format it, and fearing it will erase the program on said disc, I always say No to formatting (b/c it Will erase it, right??) My floppy Drive Does work - Do you know How to load the A drive's MTP into Steem? (I can't make Steem See it) I am assuming Steem works similar to say the way CloneDrive (by Elaborbytes?) works? Thanks again!

    Thanks a million, galax! I just discovered Steem yesterday and now I know it's safe to download - I have a Inspiron 530 Desktop Win7 64 with a floppy drive which I would use to get all info off the flops and on to my C Drive and I assume I'd use the floppy image to do that - Is an Image same as an Emulator program? Also, how do I format a Disc without erasing it (I know I'm starting to sound a bit dim) - I was planning on buying a USB to MIDI in/out Cable to accomplish the end result, unless you have a better way? I will pursue all of your recommendations and if I have some questions, I hope you don't mind if I bug ya a little for answers - I will do my best research b4 asking - Once again, Thanks for all of your help!

    MY 1040 STfm used to work perfectly for years, but now I've got a problem: When I turn it on, I see the desktop (no icons) with limited drop-down choices to pick from, (the keyboard and Mouse do work), but the Floppy Drive is producing a very steady "We will rock you" Clicking sound and will Not load a Disc, and the lights are a very low red color - I put two other F-Drives in that I know works, and in those Drives, there were No clicking sounds and although the Green lights were solidly On, it still would not load a Disc - I am using Master Tracks Pro's Sequencer Program and all my Songs are being held hostage! Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
