Help - no floppy showing when in GEM
snarkdluG replied to RichAtari's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
Checked PSU? Good 5V? -
No software is required when using EmuTOS. Alt-RAM and RTC (if connected) are detected and used automatically. You can verify this by looking at the boot screen. For TOS 2.06 and MagiC driver programs are needed that should preferably be placed in your AUTO folder: ALTRAMON.PRG adds the alternate RAM to TOS memory management. From then on, this memory is automatically used by TOS and (most) applications. RTC_TIME.PRG synchronizes the computer’s clock with the RTC and makes TOS 2.06 Y2K-compatible. Note: Under EmuTOS or after running RTC_TIME.PRG under Atari TOS, you can set the RTC using any program that changes date and time, such as the control panel. However, RTC_SET.PRG is also provided as a separate program to set the RTC. Tools and drivers. More here about STorm on ST.

Mega ste not seeing US with HD connected
snarkdluG replied to Randy's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
The two SD card slot on US has the ACSI-ID:0 and ACSI-ID:1 as default. Your Maxtor drive also has ID:0? And SCSI adapter has ID:7. Everything needs a unique number. -
Mega ste not seeing US with HD connected
snarkdluG replied to Randy's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
The first number can be 1, next 2 and the third on is 4. It is bit. Always doubles with the next number. So if all is on you just add all: 1+2+4=ID is 7. If bit 1 and 3 is on you got 5 as ID. -

Program from Lotharek to change ID on US. -
New Atari ST/E Mega ST/E hard disk interface
snarkdluG replied to masteries's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
It's called that because they uses a STM32 chip on it I think. -
You also have ICD Pro which is free nowadays: http://joo.kie.sk/?page_id=306

Yes.

Really high it will run fine. But I don't think it will show much though. You already know that floppy isn't working. So maybe pull up resistors on the 8 data lines on the DMA or WD1772 could help. Otherwise check WD1772, DMA and a 74LS06 that is part of the floppy circuit. Ribbon cable for the floppy of course. Check continuity on each leg with schematics. You should clean the legs on the chips with IPA or deoxit in the sockets when you reseat them. Schematics here.

Maximum Menu Disk Compatibility
snarkdluG replied to 8bitguy1's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
I don't think you can run 1.04 on a STe. -
A book on Atari ST crackers on Indiegogo
snarkdluG replied to orionfuzion's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
I just got a mail from them thru Indiegogo and the book is being printed at the moment. The goodies stuff is also being produced at the moment but not yet finished. I made my contribution in May, 2020 so, yes, it's been a while. But, back then the estimated delivery was feb 2021. -
Issue with UltraSatan + MegaSTe (stumped)
snarkdluG replied to gollumer's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
Without an internal SCSI card D0-D7 is not connected so the external ACSI will not work. You can also try changing the ID of US to something else then 0 with the config tool from Lotharek site. -
TT or Mega STe power supply question
snarkdluG replied to Randy's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
Read this topic. -
Silica Shop or similar 'reduced' Mega STE advert?
snarkdluG replied to oky2000's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
Bigger difference between 2 and 4 Mb Mega STe. Could have bought a Mega STe 1 and then bought 4Mb ram for a STe and pop in. -
New Atari ST/E Mega ST/E hard disk interface
snarkdluG replied to masteries's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
Up to 256MB for TOS < 1.04 Up to 512MB for TOS ≥ 1.04 Up to 2GB for TOS ≥ 4.x (Falcon) EDIT: Source -
Anyone anxious to try adding a PokeyMAX to their ST?
snarkdluG replied to Lynxpro's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
But it is a substitute for Pokey at the moment? The pinout for C012294 and YM2149 are not the same. Not even VCC is the same. So I don't see how you would use it at the moment in an Atari ST. YM2149 is relative cheap so far but that maybe is beside the point? But PokeyMax was made because Pokey is so hard to find nowadays and/or expensive? -
ScummVM need some powerful machine. Like Falcon with CT60e. ScummVM Lite only has four games working since each game has it own *.prg and all graphics is converted for 16 colors and very optimized. Many things are also stripped from ScummVM since it is not needed for these four games. And I think Agranlund choose these four specifically for a reason. Some of these four games works relative fine on a normal 8 MHz machine. You also need the files from PC talkie version. Some version has converted sound to *.OGG, packed data and will not work. Some version only have music.

Mega STe Rest Switch Pins
snarkdluG replied to pixelmischief's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
The computer will start without it. It is pulled high (+5V) normally without the reset button according to schematics. Then short pin 2 and 3 to reset the computer. Should be the middle pin (common) and the right pin (towards all the resistors). There is also two offset pins but that is just for stability. Or just solder a wire to the middle hole and short that wire to ground when you want to do a reset. Like the outer rim/ground plane that the shielding connects to. -
Where to get a UltraSatan ?
snarkdluG replied to AtariNostalgia's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
Hmm, is it becouse you are in UK maybe? Otherwise I thought Lotharek had them? -
If you didn't want to spent a lot of money... why buy an Ultra Satan in the first place? The disk you already had could be played on the original floppy disk drive. Downloaded .ST files would be easiest (IMHO) just to transfer to a USB stick and run thru a Gotek drive. Cheaper then transfer to Ultra Satan and then write to a floppy. Lots of ways of doing this of course. Nothing is the 'right way' of doing things. As Ijor said, depending on how much you want to spend, simplicity and how you want to keep things true to original feeling of your childhood I suppose. We merely provide info and you decide for your self. But if one doesn't know what everything is or means, you are going to drown in to much info.

Since Ultra Satan is hard disk drive replacement and *.ST is floppy disk images it is not really meant to go together. I would suggest to replace your floppy disk drive with a gotek. The gotek will emulate a floppy disk drive. Then you can just fill an USB-stick with all your *.ST and run it from there.

Hatari TT emu - required switches.
snarkdluG replied to Bikerbob's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
As far as I know, STorm uses two 128 Mb SIMM sticks. So 256Mb total. You can stack them and use two to get 512Mb. Do you use two STorm on your machine? http://wiki.newtosworld.de/index.php?title=Storm_-_English_Version -
Thanks!
