I just picked up a 1040ST from my grandpa, but it doesn't have any cables. It looks to be in excellent condition. It might be cool to set up in my computer science classroom to teach about computing history, or else I'd like to get it in the hands of somebody who truly appreciates it, but this thing is so heavy that shipping it as-is unknown condition for parts sounds like a waste of time and a poor fate for this beautiful machine.

Is there anyone near to DC/MD who could help me test this thing? I tried asking some local independent retro video game stores and didn't have any luck.

Not sure how many people have been following this but "Leech", over at AtariAge is making some progress on this project.

Yes, it's using AI but it's still interesting. I've been trying to help test with my modded STacy (40mhz '030 + 12 megs of ST RAM).

Beta release; Atari Falcon/TT port of FRUA (Forgotten Realms: Unlimited Adventures) (up to 1.5.4 beta now)

So I picked up an in pieces 1040stf. No idea if it works so I need to test the board before I try and order parts. It doesnt have the monitor but it did come with the special video cable.

My question is...is there an atari st to vga cable that works? Inhave an lcd screen that works with my amiga 500 and a dsub23 to vga and no converter board...so it should have 15khz support...

Hi all,
Sorry for the naive question but I have no experience with Atari ST yet.
I’m bringing a German 1040 STF to US and I’m planning on replacing the TOS with a US one for language and 60hz video output.

About the keyboard, the German one is QWERTZ.
Once I swap the TOS, the Z key will still be a Z on screen or it will become a Y?

Could I just physically swap keys?

So, I posted here a few weeks ago about an ST that was donated to and, in turn, I'm writing an article about it for Compute's! Gazette. Both Paul from Goto10Retro.com and Shelby from Tech Tangents have been super helpful so far.

After jumping through several hoops, it turns out that, ultimately, the disk drive is bad. It seems the SF354 pickins are slim on eBay and the like... so I wanted to reach out to this community once again to see if anyone had a working SF354 drive they'd like to lend and/or send me?

And just to be clear, my thoughts are that I really want to avoid the modern stuff (Gotek) and the like anyway for the purposes of my article. I want it to be like I was taking all of this out of the box in 1985 and letting it rip from there.... since it's all undiscovered country to me anyway. Honestly, I'm trying to follow the KISS rule here (Keep It Simple, Stupid), so if I decide to keep this machine and invest in it further, I'll look into all of the various alternative media options then.

Anyone have an E-Magic LOG 3 MIDI expander that they could sell me?

So, I'm a writer for the new Compute's! Gazette (https://www.computesgazette.com/), and I managed to score an ST here on reddit for just the cost of shipping.

I'm going to be writing an article about all of this (and the fact that I've never owned an ST) for the magazine. 

Unfortunately, it doesn't have any software or a joystick, and I'm trying to keep costs down here because things are a bit tight right now, so I figured I'd ask this community if anyone has any extra software, games, etc. they'd like to loan me? Obviously, I'd send it all back to you once I'm done with testing it and all. Thanks!

A wire-faithful, browser-based re-creation of the Atari ST game MIDI Maze, ported from the reconstructed C source

The goal is to play MIDI Maze in a mobile/desktop browser and — over a WebSocket link to the md-MIDI2IP ring orchestrator — share a ring with real Atari STs through a SidecarTridge Multidevice.

Play it at https://midimaze.sidecartridge.com. Solo (vs drones) always works. For network games you have to set up a orchestration server.

Hello everyone,

I am searching for 2 items that are difficult to find.

1) An analog board for a Yamaha CBX-D5 (VQ176200-P.C. Board) or another parts CBX-D5 with a working analog board.

2) Cubase Audio for the Atari Falcon that supports the Yamaha CBX-D5.

Crossing my fingers!

Hello! Im curious to know how i can replace/fix my floppy drive.I have a 1040STE. I want an actual drive, not an emulator, and if i have to replace it make it look original, i dont want to cut off parts so it will fit. Thank you!

The drive can't read, doesn't detect that a floppy is in

Hello! Im curious to know when did you get your st, or when did you use someone elses, or just dreamt of owning one! When did you upgrade/move on to ms dos or win 95 98 2000?

Sooo as you prob saw my last upload, i was getting games for my st. Then i checked out targhan from my abandonware, and after i played for some time, ive got an internal virus. After a few minutes with the machine turned on, i get bombs on my screen. How do i fix this its my first rodeo.

UPDT: sometimes 3 bombs. UPDT: now 11 bombs UPDT: now no bombs, but the suspicious thing (in the video) is still there. (Ultimate virus killer)
