The original PSU is very good ...

Because they are dead.

Is there a currently available modern psu replacement for Tt030 / Mega STE? I found reference to one from several years ago at the following link which is gone now. It's unclear whether these were NOS or updated like the Exxos Falcon psu. Thanks http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=25700 http:...

I'm experiencing video interference on my TT, and wonder what the causes could be. It is particularly an issue during floppy disk access for example. Is it my power supply, the need for more shielding, or even just the position of power cables in the case?

Thanks

I was always hoping to find someone that could remove the dongle limitation from 2.5. I wanted to use it on at TT, and have several dongles btw, but due to timing differences it would rarely pass the copy protection check on most TTs. I think I only found one TT that would run Logic some of the time...

I could use two US/UK keyboards. Mine are German

Mine was installed by Dave Small, and worked fine for a number of years. One day I turned it on and during it's rom checks it gets bombs. I can't remember the exact message at this point, but maybe some memory went bad or something. I never touched the installation prior to the failure :/ It will be...

I have one of these that worked for a while, but now I get some bombs/ROM error on boot :/ Very frustrating

Emagic Logic 2 for Atari ST from 1996 ... http://atari.music.free.fr/main.php?Notator%20Logic Maybe you mean Logic 2.5 http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/1995_articles/oct95/emagiclogic.html This was an excellent upgrade, so much so that I stopped using Logic Audio Falcon for sequencing because there ...

I might buy two - I've been wishing for a way to enjoy using my TT again.

I would like one! Thanks

I have two ST Books but only one working power supply. As far as I was able to find out, it is a proprietary power supply. I can't really sell the ST Books until I get the power supply fixed. I may send it to a re-capping service since that is probably the issue.

Cheers

I wouldn't mind having a TT that runs Logic without failing dongle check. Let us know if the interested party doesn't work out.

thanks

OK so my ceramics are like this. All of the ICs I've ever purchased were packaged in the black foam or in these clear tubes that Wongck displayed. This includes computer parts, synthesizer parts, and general project parts from American and European suppliers. Also, just for the sake of saying so, I...

I believe the built-in controller is limited to 1gb. I have had good luck with a Seagate Hawk 50-pin SCSI 1gb drive. Compact Flash can also be done with a series of compatible adapters and the correct hard disk driver.

FYI, the 1gb Transcend Compact Flash disk that I tested (that failed) is a 133x.

This is extremely helpful.

Is there any way to identify if a card is set as Fixed or Removable, with Windows for example?

Thanks

As I mentioned, some removable CF cards seem to work fine, specifically the 2gb cards I have tested, while the 1gb version of the same brand and series does not work. An IDE hard drive will work, but the entire purpose of this effort is to get away from moving parts, and I'm fairly confident that ne...

Update: It seems the problem may be specific to certain Compact Flash cards in combination with the Yamaha and MSTE. For example: Sandisk Ultra II 1gb - not visible Sandisk 512mb - will boot if previously partitioned and configured, but cannot be written to or repartitioned Transcend 1gb - visible b...

Greetings, I am trying to use one of these Yamaha V769970 50 Pin SCSI to IDE Converters inside a MegaSTE, but cannot get it to work. I have tried a variety of jumper setting combinations (termination, partity, and block size). I am trying to use an IDE to Compact Flash adapter and a card that is kno...

I would be very interested in seeing your list of floppies.

AFAIK, the internal hard disk in the MSTE was never an ACSI drive mechanism (since I am not aware of such a thing). ACSI ports can be connected to RLL/MFM, SCSI, or newer SD host adapters, but the MSTE should have had an internal SCSI host adapter built-in. As such, the internal SCSI drive that fail...

Awesome, thanks for sharing this. I will probably need every tool available to save some of these disks.

Does anyone remember the name of the Microdeal tool? I have a lot of bad disks around here.

The adapter I am running is the 80/68 > 50 pin, I am having some issues as described above. Is it possible to format the drive to within the ST or Falcon limits? ie. 18GB SCSI 3 (80 pin) formatted to 4 x 1GB. It is possible to partition a drive to use less than the entire space of the drive, for ex...

Greetings,

I do not need to image the diskettes, but rather to read the individual files that could not be read on the Atari systems. Also, WindowsXP is not a requirement, as I have Windows98 and DOS systems available.

Thanks
