Atari-Forum

While I do hope admins can find a way to allow editing, like shadowcopies or similar. I personally feel this has grown out of proportion. There are not many other forums I'm visiting that allows people to edit their posts in perpetuity, and certainly not any forums of size. And when we now close thi...

If you had modified the original post, your change most likely will go unnoticed. Correct, and personally I find it very annoying when people do this. Even worse - the last post only says "first post updated" and when you look at the first post you have no idea what has been updated. Yes,...

It flatters me that you think of me being that mighty... But I am merely a moderator here, this isn't within my jurisdiction. Haha, well... maybe you can use your might to make the master aware of the oncoming revolution among his servants. Oh believe me, they are aware of the ongoing riots in this...

Well, the VME slot is a good place to put things, but yes, you would have to add some additional wires if you want to use more than the VME bus allows, making it less installation friendly. As for gfx, at this point in time I'm not so sure these old chipsets, or ISA/PCI cards, can be sourced very ea...

Oh, Daniel, you are so kinky sometimes.

haha

nah, seriously, it looks good, and sexy... haha

All of that has been done, one way or another, for the ST(E) already, so there's certainly nothing impossible about it. There's a few things I'd like to point out though IDE & SD, there are tons of cheap IDE to SD adapters out there, you could never make a cheaper variant on the ST, so I would j...

It helps to post where you are located, and if you need 110/230V version.

Hm, yeah. Can you get your messages edited by reporting them, or does reporting not allow you to input a reason? (I don't dare trying, just in case it does something bad) Reporting a message does get our attention, so it would work. Yes, you can write a long description for the reason that you repo...

Well, just comparing and measuring the 520ST and the 2 STE's I have here I can certify that they are all the same size.

Actually, you can.

The hardware was OEM and used by quite a number of brands.

All the info you need to find what you need can be found here: http://wiki.newtosworld.de/index.php?title=SLM-804

Many STFMs, atleast later revision mobos, are already prepared for a blitter. Either there is an empty socket, or somewhere you can put a socket. This board is for short ST, where there is no dedicated socket: http://www.atari-wiki.com/images/1/1d/ST_Motherboard_C070243_Rev_E_520STM.jpg Yes, I wrot...

Best Electronics likely have them. http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/

Many STFMs, atleast later revision mobos, are already prepared for a blitter. Either there is an empty socket, or somewhere you can put a socket. So this board is not necessary for most, if you only want blitter. But it's a cool piece of work nonetheless. I suspect a version featuring an FPU instead...

Hehe, looking to replace your companys mainframe with an array of Atari's, eh?

Telegames and Songbird regularly makes new prints of their games, so calling them rare is a stretch.

It's another thing with the games that will never see a reprint, such as Rayman, and several other of the original releases.

In all honesty, while I do understand your grief, and sympathise... But if I were to leave the scene everytime some idiot offended me, I don't get along with someone, someone wasn't agreeing with me, anyone didn't thank me or credit me for my work, I'd leave every day of the week. And if you think y...

Or GigaFile. https://shop.inventronik.de/index.php

Oh, you leave so many questions unanswered on what you have done it's almost painful. So it's kinda easier to describe how it works instead of trying to decipher what you've been up to... On ST, TOS, from a software perspective, is the same regardless if it's a 2 rom version or 6 rom version. All ve...

Nice work Czietz! I certainly want one...

I assume the USB connector follows PC-standard? One or two USB ports?

Why did you choose a 40 pin IDE socket and a separate power connector over a 44-pin IDE socket?

Just curious - will this board work with accelerators like the AdSpeed ST? Thanks. Well, if it works with Pak it should work with accelerators in general I think. But AdSpeed is different as it uses the IDE hardware I/O space to control it's functions, I'm really not sure how that works out as I ha...

Well, there's always Spectrum 512, Unispec... I'm unsure if there is an STE version or an STE equivalent. Spectrum 512 was a computer paint program by Boris Tsikanovsky that enabled the creation of images with more than 16 simultaneous colors. Boris accomplished this by using a special display algor...

Found it. This should 'unlock' most, if not all, of his sources.

No, you didn't miss anything. His standard library is missing, and it makes pretty much all of his sources hard to compile I'm afraid.

I'll look around for it, I know I have it.

As for a public release of the LaceScan sources, I'll have to talk to Uran, the author. He graciously let Marcer preserve all of his stuff when he left the scene and he is a really nice chap, so I don't think he would mind, but the polite way is to ask first I hope it wont destroy your friendship w...
