Woot! I just got this:

And the best part is the whole thing works 100% Even the screen is bright!!! Only down side is it is a 1MB STacy but thats no biggie!

That's awesome! I'd love to have one of those in good, working condition (with a bright screen!) and for $50 you got a great deal.

Oooo, it's even luggable! Next time you're on the bus/train/plane/whatever, wait until everyone pulls out their fancy new HPs, Macs, Levonos, and RhymesWithHells. Then whip out this monster and see if you get any incredulous looks. Bonus points if you bring along a car battery.

 

Nice find!

Excellent score! Congratulations!

Could that STacy be use to with the Jag Dev kit? What a score!

Gah, Lucky!

[tjlazer]

Well I have another one, that is a 4MB with a very dim screen!

 

Yeah that would be awesome to walk into a Star Bucks with the baby!!! hahaha. I should make a video of it sometime! I can see it now, as I set it up, ask the baristas if they have a phone line as I setup my hayes 1200 baud modem!!!

Ironically yes. There are ST tools for the Jaguar. One of my Stacy's was used solely for that purpose at Atari HQ's.

You could put the bright er screen into the four meg Stacy and then give it a Pak 3 - 50 Mhz 030.

I'm just wondering, since Ben Heckendorn did it with that 8bit laptop he built, why couldn't someone

replace the current STacy screen with an LCD that does the correct synching so that color resolutions

could be used as well?

The signal is already there - there is an external monitor connector, right?

 

That would be pretty awesome, IMHO...

I think it would make sense to put a Matrix graphicd card onto the Mega Bus within the Stacy.

And then a switch to use your screen with a resolution of say 800x600.

Hmm, I sometimes have trouble getting my ideas across...

 

I meant replace the LCD sceen thats currently in the STacy

for one that will handle all the rez's...I really don't want an

external monitor...

 

The matrix would be a great solution as far as better rez's

and colors go though... For sure... maybe then feed that into

a replacement LCD that could handle all the signals? *That*

would be the coolest!

[jens]

That's what I thought about.

On a side note I decided to sell my STacy 4 since I do not need two! I am asking what I paid for it about 6 months ago...$300 plus S/H See the marketplace.

What size hard drive is in the Stacy?

[tjlazer]

It was a 20MB HD and I sold it on ebay recently.
