I've had an LCD Link for using SCSI peripherals for some time. I used a
Syquest EZ135 with it until the Syquest died. Also a SCSI CD with
Extendos. I dont know if there are SCSI HD size limitations tho.

1040ST's
were some of the most widely built version of the ST's, they appear
most often in swap meets and on Ebay and usually you can get a nice setup with
monitor for anywhere from $20-$30 on Ebay. The 1040ST's also have a deeper
case design and lots of room for the many expansions both commercial and
homebrew that are available, several include the 1.44mb floppy upgrade, IDE hd,
cpu upgrade and memory upgrade. There are also a few new homebrew upgrades
like the ASCI to ISA bus that allows you to use standard NE2000 network cards
and hook your ST up to the Internet, CAB 2.7 and another newer browsers are
available and there are multiple email, realplayer compatible, PDF reader
compatible, newsgroup utils available to totally equip your ST for Internet
use. I would highly Papyrus word processor, it is excellent. Also look into
using MiNT and the replacement desktops.... especially Jinnee which has a cross
Mac/Win9x look and feel...
Weren't internal options, such as hard disks, made for the
the Mega by 3rd party developers or was that only for the MegaSTE?
I've always wanted to expand my Mega above the standard SH204 hard
disk and SM124 monitor but never got around to buying anything other
than TOS 1.04 from Toad before they exited the Atari market. If
nothing else, one of the ICD interfaces might be cool.
