I wonder what the state of the art in Atari emulation is?
I'm an old Amiga person rather than Atari one so every so often I get
an urge to go buy an Amiga 4000. Instead I fire up my copy of E-UAE
running AmigaDOS 3.9 and the urge goes away. It runs some old games
better than my A500 ever did and I can run the AGA stuff my older
machines never could without massive modifications.
My eventual goal is to get an old netbook and dedicate it to just
running WinUAE.
Perhaps the OP might find an Atari emulator the same way?

The TT030 is nice very nice and takes a VGA
monitor, but I rather
wish I'd gone for a Falcon. Of course I got my TT030 nearly 15 years
ago, it was hard to get then, I hate to think how hard it might be to
get any Atari ST now, or what any Atari computer might cost.

They are fairly common on auction sites here in Sweden, I got my
1040STFM a couple of years ago for about 50 Euro, with 2 joysticks, a
custom-built flight case and about 200 floppies with pirated games on.
If you are prepared to pay for shipping from Europe, you could have a
look on ebay.de (Germany) for example, or one of the other European
national ebay sites. I got mine from Tradera which is owned by ebay
(
www.tradera.com), they turn up there every now and then, mostly 520s
and 1040s. Shipping would probably be quite expensive though.
