My Father-in-law has finally managed to convince his
wife to part with
the Atari ST they have. In the process, he'll be disposing a sizeable
collection of Atari ST bits and pieces, plus a (as far as I know) a
working North Star s-100 CPM box.
The catch is that all of this stuff is in New Zealand...
I do know he has the following:
Atari 1040ST expanded internally to 4MB
ICS SCSI interface w/ RTC in external cabinet w/ power supply and broken
Syquest 44MB Removable drive
Grey scale Hand scanner
Video Recored based Backup system
Calamus Desktop Publishing software
Color monitor (working)
Monochrome Monitor (working)
Monochrome Monitor (not working)
External Floppy Drive
Atari 520ST (two of, one working definitely working)
various other bits of software.

The ICS SCSI interface lets you hook up just about any
sized hard drive
- I tried it with a 512MB SCSI drive so far, that seemed to work fine
(it flew), but you could hook up a CD-ROM (I think) with the appropriate
driver software (the ICS interface comes with a setup disk - I can't
remember if that has the CD-ROM driver SW on it). The Atari 1040ST
could do with the TOS 1.4(?) or 2.0 TOS upgrade. The 3MB RAM expansion
is a little flakey (runs OK 99.99% of the time)
Thats likely an ICD interface whtch allows the 7 device SCSI chain.
The preferred CD-ROM software is Extendos. An option to get around
the hardware upgrade is a German program called Magic which is also
available for Mac and Dos which subs it's own version of TOS.
