I have got my Atari ST out of storage for the first time in a long time with the intention of producing some period-accurate music using Cubase, MIDI and all that good stuff. I have only ever used RF to a TV but I believe that I need a higher resolution for my use case.

Can someone please point me in the right direction of what hardware and cables I need to achieve the high resolution output? I've only ever seen Low and Medium enabled because I've only used RF. Can I get a Monitor out to VGA cable to enable the High resolution on a VGA monitor?

I was recently clearing out the loft and stumbled upon a haul of Atari games from back in the day, was wondering if it is possible to run an emulator either on PC or Mac and attach a USB floppy drive to run the games?

I bought an ACSI2STM with a pre-partitioned micro SD card, and it's working great so far. I noticed that the partitions are only taking up 1GB of the card's 32GB capacity. Can I create extra partitions, format them as FAT16 and have the ST use them?

Never had problems until I recently replaced the TOS chips, going from 6-chip to 2-chip. Initially, I had a few hiccups with the conversion (2-bomb errors) but then removing sn72ls11n completely got it working nicely. One month later, only getting this garbled screen. Any ideas where to start?

I am likely going to be parting way with my ST, which has been in storage for years. Some of the peripherals I wonder if they could be sold, or are they junk — color and monochrome monitors, SS and DS floppy drives, and a five megabyte (!) hard drive.

I was studying programming at the time, so I have a couple of versions of Mark Williams C and GFA Basic, and Prospero Pascal, all with documentation. Does anybody still use these? I'd probably just throw them in with the computer itself.

For anyone that might be interested. It looks like Pixel Addict Media are taking pre-orders for a one off magazine issue in print called Atari Addict. Based on what I can see, they need a minimum number of orders before they can make it.

Have a look

I bought my 1040 in probably 1988 or so when I was a junior in high school. Over time and thanks to my part time job at a Seattle area computer store that sold the ST I managed to accumulate both monitors, a 20 meg external hard drive, 2400 bps modem, and a bunch of software to include a really advanced terminal program for connecting to local BBS's and Carrier Command, a really cool game. My buddy had the Mac emulator that we used to produce our school newspaper using Page Maker.

I ended up taking it with me to Germany when I went into the Army and sold it to a German. It was very popular there.

Little walk down memory lane.

EDIT - changed the year. It was 1988, not 1998. I'm getting old and it all blends together.

30+ years ago as a teenager I made rave tracks using a tracker program and samples on my Atari ST.

Haven't had the ST for years but recently came across a bunch of 3.5inch floppy disks with the tracker files on. (I used a program called Noisetracker).

Is it feasible for me to try and get these to work on an emulator?

I've no idea whether the disks are still functional, but a 3.5inch USB drive from PC is pretty cheap, so happy to spend £15 to give it a try if there's a way.

Is it viable to run an emulator on my windows PC and load up the files from disc to see if they still work?

If so can anybody point me to the steps to take?

i am get bit jealous because seem commodor has new computer 64x that celebrate it history and give owners path to the future.

So thought to myself wonder if pcway could built the coldfire mother board with all the bit and bobs. Just would need add power supply and case etc

sorry for dreaming out loud

Hi. I bought a used 520st and spent some time retrobriting and re-capping. When I boot using a a Sysinfo cartridge image on my Sidecartridge, the system identifies as a 1040st. Is the Sidecartridge performing this trickery or could I have a 1040 maingboard ina 520 case?

I recently finished an adventure game called l'anneau de zengara, made in France. A port for the Atari St was planned and advertised in magazines, but apparently either it was cancelled, either the game is obscure.I have seen people looking to buy it, so I wonder if they don't know or if it actually exists, although there is no video footage about it.

I know there is 520 STation, but it seems to be quite rare…

which solution do you use to have the monitor in a tidy position on top of the cables running out of the ST on the backside?
