Hades666 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Hi. Has anyone made a Hombrew Atari ST clone and if so are they still available to buy ?? I've seen quite a few other machine clones, especially the ZX spectrum (JustSpeccy128K ) etc .but haven't found an ST yet..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 The MIST is relatively new and actively sold and supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galax Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Yes MiST is great, I'm a big fan, it recreates the ST (and quite a few other computers & consoles) in an FPGA chip, complete with 9 pin joystick ports and MIDI: https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-board/wiki - It doesn't try to look like an ST, mine came in a bombproof little steel box like most stuff from Lotharek. There's also the Firebee, which is a sort of successor to the ST, without much compatibility with the original: http://firebee.org/fb-bin/index(currently pre-ordering for a new batch, the first for a few years, may be the last) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarifanboi Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 My own STE is pretty much homebrew, I bought a main board from eBay for £30, a dead STFM for £10, and modded the case to take the slightly different STE board. I then added Alan Hourihanes dual IDE interface and I recently added Exxos' 1.44Mb floppy mod, upgraded to 4MB of RAM and have a couple of other mods planned. So far it's probably cost me less than the price of a MIST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift838 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 the MiSt is great for Atari ST, it will also recognize a USB to serial adapter so you can hook a serial device or null modem cable to another device and use 'tcpser' as the modem emulator to dial out at 9600bps. MiST also works well with other cores. I'm fairly new to the MiST but I use it almost daily to call BBS'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
