ParanoidLittleMan I have more important things to do then log to this forum every 5 minutes. Pictures uploaded https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/143n8E4WrkEYguOC82BHeFNR5iEB0PgRK And save your comments for yourself because they are pathetic Kris

If you are looking for the best game computer it is Amiga 500 with Gotek & .512 mb ram expansion . IMO best value for the buck.

If someone is interested I have Atari 260 ST for sale. It is in good working condition and it comes with external brick power supply. https://drive.google.com/open?id=143n8E4WrkEYguOC82BHeFNR5iEB0PgRK Make me an offer if interested Kris

There can be a lot of things but most common ones for this behavior can be faulty floppy drive or oxidation on socketed chips. Disconnect floppy and try to boot. It usually takes longer to boot without floppy but might work. Carefully pull socketed chips and make sure that there is no excessive oxidation on chip legs and sockets. Do you get any bombs on the white screen? K.

I have all 3 that you mention, but I find myself using Gotek with FF the most. if you are interested I have one extra with tons of software for it. Kris Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

I call it stupid when someone destroys any vintage computer or computer parts. I do not care what the cause is. Plain stupid. Kris

did you think about GOTEK? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Interested in 1200xl PM on the way.

All I got to say is sorry to see it happen. There are not too many Atari STE’s around left and we lose them to brain-less people. To sweet up your grief I could buy from you keyboard and TOS if it is 2.06. PM sent. THX Kris

hi I'm interested in mega st2. I sent you PM. Kris

Interested in 1040STE PM sent THX Kris U.

there should be 2 plastic clips (arrows pointing) that will hold metal rod. Also if any button does not come up once you press it then rubber cup is busted inside keyboard. For your floppy drive problem sounds like mechanical problem. Hard to answer without taking it apart. when my floppy quit working i replaced it with Gotek. Got one cheap from China and flashed with HxC. Kris

Interested in 1040 ste

thx got it - now is working

I got driver to load again. however when I hold CONTROL comp. boots to xtron

Something else must happen. I no longer see screen with AHDI driver loading but I can hear HD spin

Hi, I need some help with my Atari Mega STE. I recently got MSTE in non-working condition. Replaced PS and computer came to live. After a few power cycles computer booted (from hard drive) to “XTRON” game. I want to get into TOS screen and I do not know how. Here is what I tried so far: 1. Disconnected HD – Computer boots to TOS 2.05 both floppy and garbage icons present. Floppy drive is reading floppy content. 2. Press “Alt” as manual instructed during boot up (HD connected) – I get to TOS but only garbage icon present – no floppy or HD. I can add floppy drive icon through menu but it does not recognize floppy drive. 3. Created floppy system disk got it from http://www.atari.org/services/systemdisks.php(Atari Mega STe with Hard Drive Language Disk, English-US, Revision A) it looks like computer does not boot from floppy. I get the same think as described in 2. There are 3 dip switches on HD controller (C103561-001 REV.3) they are all in ON position. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you. Kris U.
