Once again, thanks everyone for your help. I wired up a cable based on the information found at this link: http://www.notator.org/html/contributions.html#st_vga I think this wiring scheme is specifically for getting a hi-rez, B&W picture on a VGA monitor. Does anyone have a step-by-step, as in the above linked information, on how I could do this to get color? Thank you again. You Atari fans are fervent... and it's NICE!

Hi, wired it all up according to the instructions... BINGO DINGO, it works! Would be nice if there were some way to get color on my 21" monitor. I guess I would have to buy some adapter or somethings... but then there I go again. I just need to clean 'em up for an eBay appearance. I have a 40MB hard drive that I hooked up to it and right away it booted off of it and there is some software and files on it, but don't really know how to use it. Any way to get color out of this thing with bailing wire and chewing gum? Question: Where would the RF modulator connect in? Does it plug into the monitor output port, inside the machine, or maybe through the expansion port? Thanks to all! You have been a great help.

Wow. Thanks Atarian1. That is exactly what I need. Too bad Atari made their video output so propriatary so one had to use an Atari monitor. Thanks, and also thanks to Paolo for his comments.

One more thing... I opened up the Mega ST4 and see that there is, pluged into the processor socket, some kind of daughter card. It has "© Sack" printed on its circute board. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks again. Ok I looked at it again, and it is actually soldered (pin for pin) TO the existing processor. Here... I'll try to attach a photo.

Hello all, I have a Mega ST4 and a 1040ST. I would like to sell them on eBay, but I don't know if they work or not. Does someone have a wiring diagram for the video port and / or know of a way to connect it to a modern monitor? Even via a composite connection would be great. I have an "old school" Commodore 1702 monitor and somewhere I have an old Apple II color monitor that I could use also. Thanks.
