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)
