You can use a blank floppy image. Hatari will generate one for you.

Unless you tell me otherwise I'll assume that the drive thingy is just a mock prototype taped on front of the monitor to make the computer look more like 'serious business'.

There's a recent article in the New York Times on retro computing:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/08/styl ... uting.html

Nothing spectacular but the ST is briefly mentioned and they have a picture of an odd-looking Mega-esque monitor/disk drive combination which I wasn't aware of.

Just came across this as I wanted to give Crack Art a go on my TT and you can't imagine how delighted I am by finding your manual right away. Thanks a lot, made my day!

Here is another link : https://app.box.com/s/u10c6vi1irpzv2hbi8zke0raluuzp83a I have been obliged to split the image in 250 MB chuncks. Why do you reject mega.nz? Is it because of the sulfurous owner or other reason? reliability issues? The reason why I use it is that I have 50GB of free storage an...

I can't get the image to work. 1. Downloaded beepi-1_1_a.zip file from mega.nz 2. Unzipped the archive. 3. Put the image on a 64 GB micro SD card using the Raspberry Pi Imager as instructed. 4. Tried to boot the image on a RPI4. 5. Got a kernel panic (unable to mount root fs) MD5(beepi-1_1.img)= d60...

Did you follow this advice? https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=20639 I assume you have the exxos RTC module? I do, and I have the same issues, I get EN language, a FR keyboard and and a date/time which is out of spec. I think the three general approaches are software (there are some links i...

Here's what it looks like: https://photos.app.goo.gl/zM9pYCVecwoac65A8

I'd just replace it with a new one. IIRC a 5mm 5V LED will do the trick.

They might be quite bright compared to the original ones so you might want to add a 4.7K or 10K resistor.

There's also a mount available if you happen to have a 3D printer: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2817996

To the best of my knowledge CosmosEx is not obtainable right now so this is a bit of a moot proposition. I'd love to stand corrected. 2) Drive Emulation -CosmosEx 3) HDD replacement -CosmosEx 5) Other stuff? -CosmosEx Is there good stuff around for let's say TCP/IP networking (e.g. for file transfer...

P.S. If you don't mind: sharing where you got the keys from might help others in the future.

Looks really neat, congrats!

Oh no
I had the pleasure of meeting him during SV once.
I didn't know anyone and he was so kind. Even though I only got to knew/met him for an hour or so I am deeply saddened.

We're done here

Hi dibasber, sorry I just saw your reply, I wasn't monitoring the thread since I got PM'd for the most part and forgot to set the appropriate notification setting. I was successful in getting my hands on one and will close / rename the thread. Thanks! I have one , and good working Im living in nethe...

Since this seems to be a private conversation between you two at this point, can you take it to chat/PM? I certainly agree that this is a very sad story, I was shocked and sad when I first learnt about it. But I'd appreciate you taking your ideas about justice and retaliation somewhere else, this fo...

If you're in Europe, try

If you're in the US, try

in California.

Edit: You'll have to reach out to the store owners, these items are likely not listed in the store.

Welcome to the forum! There are some sources where you'd be able to get keyboards from I assume (e.g. exxos in UK if you ask nicely), but source and price point depend on where you're living. I'm not aware of any sources for individual keys, though. If you let us know which country they should ship ...

Here's a pic of my latest job: https://photos.app.goo.gl/HGyaUCJZoDvomyEW7 You can see slight streaks below the cursor keys, but it'll fade away after some 303 treatments and some time on my desk. edit: I use the same 12% cream for the keys, never understood why you'd need to use something else for ...

Nice job! I use the same cream, but only about 1h of sun does the trick for me (sunny day with relatively high UV index). I learned the hard way to be very careful, though - a few minutes too long and you've ruined it. Some 303 Aerospace Protectant polishing after that and the plastic looks fantastic.

That's great work, thanks Thorsten

Space Ace maybe?

Edit:
According to http://www.stcarchiv.de/stm1990/06/space-ace it came on 4 disks and supported the STE color palette.

Edit 2:
Could maybe also be Dragon's Lair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYN-jqoulfQ

Thanks a lot, that's very helpful. I'll take a stab over the weekend.

Hi, I have two SM 124, one looks shiny but has a pretty bad picture, the other one is ugly beyond help but has a pretty decent picture.
Therefore I'd like to swap screen and housing.
Is the screen glued to the housing? Is it painful?

Thanks for your advice!
Tom

Same here - looking for a MegaSTE graphics card, I'm located in Germany as well.
