Ordered. A wonderful birthday gift to myself!

It's the summer holidays time of the year, and these guys do this in their spare time, so realistically I don't expect any update until at least a week or two into September.

Different suppliers I've read. I tried to find out whether mine is a U2410F or U2410, but it doesn't say anywhere. Monitors usually have a sticker somewhere with the details but I wasn't able to find one on mine. Maybe somebody removed it, I don't know. There is a small plastic card on the left sid...

I read "keine Zusatzschaltung erf.", where "erf." probably means "erforderlich" = required. Hence: No additional circuit required.

Yes, that's it.

It looks like a memory expansion has been fitted.
Also, looks like a 1.44 Mb floppy mod.

No ROM, processor or shifter.

The note says something like:
DMA capable.
No additional circuit (followed by something illegible, perhaps ist=is/was)
tested with additional circuit on 17-06-98

You can use any television or old CRT monitor with RGB / SCART connection for low and medium resolution.
You can use almost any VGA monitor for high resolution.

You can some VGA monitors with all resolutions. Use google or the search function of the forum.

Lotharek's ACSI cable is now included per the website.
I have pre-ordered one, I came back to the ST not long ago and missed this one the first time around.

I asked him last week and he hopes to have time later in the year.

Perhaps a short video extension cable 13 pin male to 13 pin female?

After 25 years I got a ST again this weekend. It is a Mega 1 with a surprising 3 MB.
So I can't vote
