I bought a Falcon 030 last year, new in box. The only thing is it was from Germany. Is there a way to get an updated US power supply for it? I also want to max the RAM.

My original is a Mega ST4 from 87, but that system is mothballed until I find the time to completely backup the hard drive. I have that thing configured with Mac emulation, WordPerfect, PageStream, LDW, Neodesk, etc.

Thanks

I’ve always thought there’s a documentary in the UK scene from way back - pompey pirates ..automation…Medway boys …

Did anyone ‘know’ a member of a cracking group?

I'm trying to find a particular Warez Intro / Demo and hoping someone might remember it.

It was from 1992 or earlier.

It was in the form of a music video. The music was a Front 242 - Punish Your Machine "remix", and the style of the video was sort of like the early Apple itunes commercials with quick cuts of black silhouettes dancing.

Ring any bells?

I'm looking for original floppy disks (physical or digital) related to Signum!2, but not the program itself. Helpful would be:

• SiFoX Disks
  • numbered (i.e. SiFoX-1 to 52...)
  • Anwendung 1/2
  • Exot 1-3
  • Finnugor, Jugo
  • Musik 1/2
  • Osteuropa 1/2
  • Theologie
  • Griechisch
• Named Font disks (Anna, Diana, Gloria, ...)
• Typeart / Futur / Rokwel / Professional / Euro Font Disks
• Any example SDO going with these fonts
• Any of the accessories:
  • SCRCOPY
  • Signum-Spooler
  • Signum-Revers-Accessory
  • Signum-Utility-Disk 2
    • Disk-Utility
    • Little Sweet
    • Signum-Manager
  • Headline
  • Diagramm
  • Scarabus

If you have some of those or know where to find some, please reach out! I'm mostly looking to put together an online catalog and document the correct advance for each glyph in each font, which is in the E24 files and relevant for the SDO file format.

I'm aware of the different PD collections, including the 600 font thing, though while those seem to have some overlap with SiFoX, they're 95% (ATARI-)ASCII fonts, so a bunch of interesting ones are not in there (as they should) and they're almost impossible to confirm as a named font just visually, which is why I'm looking for disk images in particular.

I'd like to put together a proper public archive too, but that's much more of a long shot and would need copyright and potentially institutional support sorted out.

Hello all, after wanting one as a kid but never getting it, i finally bought myself an Atari ST+ with a SF354 floppy drive. Obviously had to repair the drive (redo the cable, find a belt and clean the single head), mouse wasn't working but i got it sorted, 3d printed a new shell for it since the old one was broken and got the SM125 monitor back in working condition.

I'm left with a fully working computer but with very little options of running programs due to the 360kb floppy limit, so to my questions for you expert folks...

1. can i use my pc as an external hard drive trough serial perhaps? I'd like to be able to load programs, not copy them. I know the latter is possible.

2. i can make a floppy from .st images with makedisk software just fine, problem is, if i want to put something on the floppy without it being in an image. The floppy in my win 98 pc doesn't support 360kb so it won't read it. Any advice?

3. end goal is to possibly run some midi software on it, but since all midi software is on 720kb floppies, i'm stuck.

P.s. i know there are aftermarket solutions like gotek and some sd card to serial adapters, but i'd like to keep my costs down as much as possible. (shithole slavic EU country wages) Thanks in advance for any advice.

I found one for st format but nothing else. I also found amiga magazine rack for that computer but I'm really looking for what it says in the title. Provided Disk images are perferred as well but I wouldn't be worried if I can just get the contents of all the disks.

Has anyone managed to get ST games working on the switch? I’ve Amiga working but that makes me feel a little …dirty

After a quick fix by the author - the SIMM RAM for any 30pin computer - do work fine. Here in Atari STE, where we don't need the parity . Source and thank you got to: Silvervest! github.com/silvervest/s... Now to test if EDO-CAS-hacked will work as well!

I have RetroDeck working on my SteamDeck - it works perfectly with every other emulation system I have on there (Master System, Megadrive, SNES, NES, Mame, PS2 etc etc), but the only one that doesn't work is the ST.

I can get the list of the roms up, if I select any to run it just goes black and then returns to the list.

I have all the BIOS files in the correct place, and have tried with both ZIP and MSA files.

I'm flying in a couple of days and want to go through Dungeon Master and Midwinter 2 (with a keyboard and mouse) on the transatlantic flight!

I am trying to remember the name of the Atari ST platform game I played as a kid around late 80s. It was a guy that moved through some space environment - I think he was a bounty hunter. He always seemed to get trapped in various rooms. It was also pretty shit. But Id like to remember what it was called regardless

The ST was announced 40 years ago at Winter CES. Living in Mexico, I got the news a few weeks later via Compute! magazine that was sold in Mexico (and I had a subscription).

I was so excited to learn about it and wanted one. At the time I had an 800XL and an Apple //e (that I won in a school raffle).

A friend got his ST about a year or so later. So amazing!

Its a superior device. Nothing comes close to it and i tried every possible solution i could when i started on the ST journey, Its pixel perfect , i built mine from the files in the repo but i think someone is hustling these assembled on ebay. Its somewhat technical to install but the idea is to read the data lines instead of converting the analog video out. I have one on my sampler as well and it works just as well (its a RGB output). I think it worked out to $100 usb per device including 3d printed case. I can share my production files to send to JLC

Just got an Atari 1040STF for 75€, what mods should I do to this thing to run applications/games from an external medium? I'm currently documenting all mods I have seen so far for myself but don't know what to get. Currently looking at a Gotek drive, although they are pretty confusing and I can't really find concrete information on them, there seem to be all kinds of models. Something else I'm looking at, which is cheaper than the Gotek and seems superior in every way, is a SidecarTridge Multi-Device.

So now my question is, which one should I get?

As a kid, I had two friends who owned Atari STs. Both used First Word (actually I think one upgraded to First Word Plus) and both used the Atari branded dot matrix printer.

I remember at the time not being all that impressed with the output. It certainly didn't look as good as the stuff I had seen from the Mac Plus and Image Writer II.

In hindsight, it could well have been the word processor and fonts used. So my question is, was there a way to really make written reports look great on the Atari ST? Like if a better word processor was used and it was paired with Atari's laser printer, would the output have been comparable to the Mac with Laser Writer? Did the ST have scalable fonts or anything like Postscript?

I've recently been getting into Atari STs, and doing research on them before I can buy one for myself. The question, though, is which one do I buy?

The models that entice me the most are the STFM and the STE. I wanna know, what are the differences between the two models and which would be the better choice since I can only get one?
