Kit was easy to install and works. There is 3 possible connection points on the board depending on your mouse. I got it on the second try.

delvis Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 Darklord - yes it is good to be back home with my Atari ST. In 2016 wife and I moved into a smaller place and I had to store everything. She kept trying to get me to get rid of my stuff. We recently sold our house and moved into a place that has enough room for my man cave again. (3rd bed room) So now it is wall to wall old computer stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering why this isn't a video with the candles lit and the "Bow Chicka Wow Wow" background music. It's almost like you are only half-assing the sexiness of it all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delvis Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 Good call... right... I took over the dinner room table for a few minutes with the 1040ST, while the Mega was in the other room on the desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delvis Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) DarkLord, Yes in this photo you see the two round rubber parts secure the board down. The two square ones are for the mouse buttons. Just don't over tighten the case so the mouse buttons can operate properly. I did have to move the connector to the pins closest to the screw after the photo was taken. There are 3 choices. For me the one in the photo did not work correctly until I moved it.

+DarkLord Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Thanks for the info, appreciated. One more question, is the "feel" of the buttons much improved over the originals? I have a Best Electronics "True Mouse" that is leagues better in feel than the original. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delvis Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 It feels better than the stock mouse. Not sure it is better than the one you bought. Cool part is using the original mouse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delvis Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 You know anyone willing to swap out a US spec Mono High Res monitor for a US spec Atari ST Color monitor? As of now I have two color and would prefer to have one of each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delvis Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 Cleanup my Atari ST area in my man cave. Also a few of the ST programs with boxes... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Just a side note.... If you didn't already know, if you're giving away one of the color monitors don't give away the one shown here (with detachable monitor cable). That's the flagship one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masteries Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Wonderful upgrade for an old ST mouse, And a great collection of ST computers you have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delvis Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 I have about 5 or 6 more games i recently purchased coming from the UK to US. Just bought the new ACSI2STM adapter and will use it on the 1040ST. Also I bought a Atari monitor switch box that I tie into my VGA switch box.
