    Ok i know it`s been a while but i finally got to have a look at the 3 atari`s up for grabs .. PICTURE BELOW

     

    1 x 1040ste 1meg 1.6 tos.

     

    1 x 520stfm ram unknown tos unknown.. looks like a stock machine

     

    1 x 520ste ram unknown tos unknown..      "      "   "    "         "

     

    plus i`ll ad an SM124 Monitor..

     

    Note these are spares or repairs from memory they all booted into tos last time i checked a couple of years ago but i think the drives needed either re belting or replacing .. maybe someone could put goteks in them and sell them on at a profit ? if interested make me an offer i dont expect much for them..

    cheers

    Here is the latest file all set up for Gotek that has been flashed from Quebec, (FF and 3rd party HXC) with 7000 games and utilities for the Atari ST, the link to my Mega site is here:https://mega.nz/#F!YFVBEJ5Y!Fu3CCx3QJ-21q9JBx5Invw, all you have to do is format a USB 2.0 stick 8 GIG or bigger in fat32, then copy the contents of the zip file (make sure that you enter the folder first) to your flash drive.... make sure that you do not fast format it , use a free program like Mini Tool Partition Wizard 10.2 to format the stick with fat32 and default settings .... if you have one of these Goteks from Quebec that come with an 8 GB flash drive (around $58 Can with shipping) , I would recommend against any Chinese imports as #1 they are inferior to the good ones , and #2 they have no bootloader on them. You get what you pay for in the case of the Atari ST (and Amiga) and USB 3.0 sticks work !!!!!! ............... Russ Campbell

    Hey Russ ..whatever happened to the link to your zip file ? i`d be more than interested in taking a look at that ..

     

    cheers

    Hi... i`m thinking of swapping my current monitor SM124 for a flat screen 17" and was wondering the best way to go / connect up ..

    do i go DIN to VGA on a computer monitor or DIN to scart and get a small T.V. 

     

    I`ll mostly be running Cubase so monochrome will suffice ..however i may wish to play the odd game so what would you recommend

    Also i`ve seen DIN to VGA with two phono audio cables will these attach to the monitor for sound i.e. so i can hear the cubase metronome through the p.c. monitor speakers?

     

    any advice greatfully recieved..

     

    cheers..steve

    So following my recent decision to fire up the old Atari St and other peripherals i happened to find lying around the loft i came across a box with x 3 ST`s in it .. from memory they ALL powered up ok but some of the floppy drives were in need of re-belting (i`ll replace and test prior to any interest)...

     

    i was wondering if anyone would be interested in them either as a job lot or singles ?... i`m going to get them out tomorrow and provide full (as best i can specs / model) info...

     

    Cheers

     

    Steve 

    p.s. i`d rather they went as whole units as opposed to "i`ll take a power supply" etc.. because i don`t have much time for that stuff anymore sorry..

    From your initial post in the 8 bit section, look on Ebay for SCSI Hard Disk Enclosures, it was one of these I used

    by removing the SCSI interface and fitting an ICD interface inside and also fitted a 300MB SCSI Hard Drive, been running

    with no problems since 1986.

    ok thanks i`m on it !! may need help with the interface side of things also but i`ll cross that bridge when i get to it ...

     

    thanks alot

     

    cheers

    Afternoon all...

    so i recently found and decided to hook up my old supradrive to my atari st to look at some old files on there (i`m a working musician and used the ST extensively during the 80`s / 90`s... upon power up i heard a bit of a "crack" from within the casing !!!! ... so i opened her up and a couple of chips on what looks like the controller board were fried ... a quick look on the web meant that i could source the affected chips still and relatively cheaply (hurrah!) ...BUT..... 

    one of the affected chips seems to be a custom programmed EPROM.. and i was wondering if anyone has or knows where to get the file i need to re-burn the new chip as my drive is useless without it .... alternatively can anyone suggest an alternate housing i could source so i can swap the actual HD over ...

    see piccy`s for the lowdown ...

     

    affected chips are 

     

    74HCT240N X 1 Easily available

    S7407N       X 1    "          "

    PAL16L8ANC X 1   "          "       CUSTOM EPROM..

     

    Thanks for any advice / help offered..

    My guess is the Power Supply went faulty if so many chips have been damaged, I would also suspect even

    the ones not displaying any damage may also be "fried".

     

    Before you go any further I would unplug the PSU and check the 5V and 12V levels (I think older drives had 12V)

     

    On my ST's I use an ICD interface in a standard hard disk case from "way back", it had an internal PSU, but no controller,

    so I fitted the ICD interface into it, its a verysmall board, and it works fine.

     

    Just a thought, this is the 8 Bit Forum, you may get more help from local people if you post this on the ST forum.

    Yeah ... thought that also about the PSU ... I`ve ran a capacitance tester all over it and it comes back "normal" also the old multimeter on the resistors etc ... but i hear what your saying ... i have a bench power supply so i`ll hook that up and see whats being output ... i`m interested in your solution but to be honest most of what i do is now in the P.C. domain and thus going back to the atari stuff is like being a time traveller !! ... just as a matter of interest do you know if these old caddy`s /ICD Interfaces are freely available ??..

     

    thanks

    for your time/reply
