Trust me, it's not worth resurrecting the floppy.

I use a MC68010 CPU and Gembench 5 bombs with three bombs at the FPU test ... I think there's your problem - Ja, das ist, wo Ihr Problem ist Frank Hmmm... the 68010 was a 68000 with fixes?

And I thought I'd seen nearly everything ... until now:

Very nice! That keyboard PCB is very impressive indeed. Why did you choose this instead of just converting the ST keyboard protocol to PS/2 using a microcontroller. I was thinking about to do a mod to use the STE keyboard on the PC, some kind of like that: http://symlink.dk/projects/c64key/ but mor...

Lonny has it on his website. It's not complete, but at least most of it is there and is well commented C code, with some asm in there as well.

hope that's of help.

(partial!?) source code for TOS 2.07/4.0x does exist ... I've got it somewhere ... but hang on, isn't rebuilding an atari 'super' card just a little of overkill to replace a floppy mechanism!? I mean we were talking that 100euros was a bit steep to do even that and now we're building a new sparrow-l...

I'm going off topic now but I would love to make the STe like a sort of baby Falcon, i.e. faster CPU, better audio maybe four 16bit tracks or eight could be possible if the bandwidth is there. That would leave graphics and networking although you can already do some reasonable stuff with a stock ST...

I agree with rocket-dog, but it would be nice to say replace one of my SF314 internal mechanisms with one of those, as trying to find floppy disks these days is getting harder, and finding working, double sided disks is even more of a challenge ... and besides SD cards are practically given away now...

and it's even read/write, unlike some others read only!:

I agree, but that is just absurd for a portfolio ... at ct63 on the other hand ... now that would be fun.

this makes me think I was silly buying a new wind 100+ netbook recently, and that I should sell it and buy this instead ... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/RARE-VINTAGE-ATARI-PORTFOLIO-HAND-HELD-COMPUTER_W0QQitemZ110381657497QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Computers_Vintage?hash=item110381657497&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_...

I think it's the first step you need to check. I've a falcon who works only with a b/w sm124 monitor. Some line select is broken.

It's not fair living down here in OZ I'd gladly find a home for the TT and Mega only if it didn't cost 500 euros to post them down

Yeah they're pretty rare, but have a look at the starting price ....

The cable should be the exact same one as an atari external floppy drive - this allows the Spectre to bypass the ST floppy controller iirc and drive it like real mac drive. you can buy new ones on eprey still.

Overscan or interlaced? I've never seen an overscan desktop on a Falcon!? Interlace on the other hand is standard, mind you end up with a headache after 5 mins ...

omg! It's Chopper! Seriously though, if we were to make a new Sparrow card, that would bridge the gap between the STe and the Falcon ... I think that Karl over at Atari Explorer even has some info on it - looks like the 68000 was taken out, a daughtercard with the 030, some cache ram and the 56001 o...

An 8031 is a chip similar to the 8052. What you've got there is most likely a cross/assembler to enable the compiling/disassembly of programs on the ST, much the same as you can get ones for 6502, z80, etc. You're not going to be able to run the compiled programs unless you have a 8031 emulator .......

Exactly what model of Sony monitor are you using? Lately I've seen a lot of 20" Sonys being sold with STs down here, so it's do-able.
Not sure of the 1080 monitor, but Anemos has a nice schematic for a 1084 for the ST ...

maybe that's of some help.

Has anyone here ever tried those Neon/Cello/Soundwave LCD TVs with the ST(e)? They are all the same models but have a different company badge and at my local stores, the prices are around £150 for a 19" Freeview set. I cannot seem to locate any specific information about them using Google though, i...

$$$ wise or weight wise!? Those things were great doorstops!

8O Now that is ambitious! Are you trying to replace the old screen with a new one so it's still portable of just trying to hook up an external screen to the STacy? If it's the first one, you could probably get away with an 'older' type of lcd, iirc the STacy is about a 12" display? (Never seen one i...

Hey Alison (or whoever, I guess)... when you're looking for a replacement screen, which is preferred, the 16:9 aspect ratio, or 4:3? Or does it even matter to the STs? Thanks! My suggestion would be 4:3 as that is a square ratio whilst 16:9 is widescreen. Some older machines stretch the 4:3 aspect ...
