Okay gang. I just can't take it, I gotta help this
guy become an atarian. :)
Okay, this is what; you need. You need an ATSCI to SCSI converter
OK, but what to do with the system that takes an ST-506 interface drive? I just
need to know if I can substitute, say, an ST-251, and how to do the low-level
format (if necessary).
controller. The most common for the ST series is made
by ICD. They can still
be had from ICD but they are around 79.00. There is an Atari dealer, yes,
dealer, amazing in my area. [KCMO] Their home page is
www.systemsfortomorrow.com. They are a great bunch of guys and I got my ICD
SCSI controller for them for a 1040 Swap. [I had two]. But he has a few used
ones and can get you one if you want. This machine is very worth spending
the money to get a HD for.
What are your killer apps to make it worthwhile?
I figured maybe I could at least use it for a web browser in my bedroom or
something, since it's mostly complete and working. So so far it looks like
I need this special hard drive adapter. Is ethernet doable? If I upgrade
the RAM what kind do I need? (It's a 540, not a 1040.)
My 1040ste I have upgraded to 4 megs, it has a
14.4 modem and a quantum 105lps scsi HD on. It will currently connect to
the internet, and i mean with PPP an PAP authentication, will do IRC, FTP,
Popmail and graphically surf all via freeware. Please let me know if I can
be of any assistance.
