Atari ST/STE/TT/Falcon/etc Showcase!

Recommended Posts

Post pics here of your Atari setup! I'll start this off with mine:

And, as an added bonus, here is some of my old artwork, done in Activision's Paintworks. I would do proper screen grabs if I could, but this will have to suffice for now.

Mmmmmmm 4160STe, were those even sold in the US? I haven't seen an SH204 in a while. :) I need dig one of my Mega STs from my garage and the accompanying MegaFile and set it up. Been sitting idle for far too long.

Here's some pics of my desk setup.

 

Soon to be upgraded... but for now.... :)

and of course, I got my coke fix :)

(Coca-Cola that is )

I have a roughly 4-5 foot area in my bedroom right now that I eventually want to use to hook up...

 

1) my 1040 STE

2) My 600 XL

3) my Coleco ADAM

 

And hook them all up to the same TV (or monitor... May need to go TV)

 

When I get home I'll need to take a pic of what the area looks like now.

 

I need ideas on how to make this happen. Looks like a trip to Menards is in the offing...

If I ever get a digital camera I'll have to take a pic of my TT030 setup with the PTC monitor. It really looks sweet.

Hey Jan, are my eyes deceiving me or is that my favourite colour LED in your TT?

You are right! It's BLUE! ;)

Nice Flatscreen as well :)

can you run it out of the box on the TT or do you have a video card?

I have ET4000 videocard inside TT, but the display works nice even with standard TT VGA output.

 

It also works great with Falcon. It can handle high resolution with low horizontal frequency (around 60 Hz) which is very good for Falcons screen enhancers (CRT flickers much while TFT is steady).

Unfortunetaly it cannot handle special modes which are used mainly for demos. But for my developping and DTPing it is simply great.

4 MB memory and a different badge. To be honest I never saw the 4160 marketed by Atari, I think the badges were just made but not put onto full production models. I could be wrong.

Yes, it depends what you do on your machine. For relatively static screens like in a development or design environment, the longer persistence of LCD/TFT helps disguise low video refresh rates, and the geometry is perfect and never drifts, but CRT still has the advantage for colour quality, and faster pixel response for significant on-screen movement without blurring. Horses for courses, as they say.

Since you guys are being nice and including ST's, here's my messy 1040STfm setup. Poor thing has to share a desk with my 130xe but I grew up with the 8bits so I hope it understands :) There's also a huge 20mb hard drive on the floor, dang those things are bigger than I imagined before I got my ST last year.

It is actually a 1040STe upgraded with four 1MB 30-pins SIMMs inside. The case was all yellowed on it so I got a NEW 1040STe case and a 4160STe label from myatari.com :)

 

It looks like it is NEW. Ahhh the smell of a NEW ST!! :D

Nice pics of the Mega STE and TT! I really love the case designs for those machines, although I imagine keeping all those grooves clean is a pain. :) And I forgot just how big the STacy is!
