And now comes a question: which language, since there is no Portugal TOS v. ?

 

Btw. I solved multilingual TOS 1.04 (very similar to 1.62) . Can select UK, De, Fr, ES after reset. And it is complete - not only text (messages) are what changes, but keyboard mapping/tables, special code for each lang. in keyboard reading part. Only thing I couldn't do are that keyboard caps changing too 😄  And all it fits in original space thanks to packing and optimizing.  Can do same with 1.62 .

I know there isnt any TOS in portuguese, i guess the most obvious choice for me will be English UK.

Since i will use my STE mainly for gaming and the demoscene, i think 1.62 will be the best choice for me.

BTW nowadays whats the fair price for a pair of TOS chips?

I only collect what has nostalgic and sentimental value to me, or because i owned it or because ive used at a friends house.

Back in the day since i didnt knew the existance of MegaSTe, TT and Falcon and i didnt knew anyone that had one of those, i dont have any particulary interest on them, because they dont have any meaning to me.

 

On the other hand, back in the day i knew the atary lynx handheld and also the jaguar console.

Im a commodore and sinclair user since the 80s and 90s, those are the systems that i really love to collect and play.

 

Atari at least for me, means atari 2600 jr. and the ST 😇

 

But hey i see no problem, one day we can surely met (after the pandemic) to see those machines working, its always a way to gain knew knowledge on the scene.

BTW ive a friend on the retro scene, that also lives in Braga

Hi,

 

Thanks for your replies

If i buy one of those chips with a newer version of TOS, is there any soldering required? or i can easily remove them because they are installed in sockets?

 

Btw whats the last version of tos? 2.06?

 

@anzac

Whats the advantage of that dual solution you told me about?

 

Thanks!

Hi guys,

 

I'm a newbie on the atari scene and recently ive bought my first atari st, its a 520ste.

But after powering it up ive noticied that the TOS is in french.

 

How and where can i change the default language?

 

Thanks in advance ;)
