Re: ATARi 1040STE keyboard vs standard 520/1040ST

Keyboards are generally interchangeable, however the STM keyboards are not compatible with the STFM/STE due to different connector etc.

Re: Royal mail getting rid of CN22 now it seems

90% of overseas orders are missing information off their address. We have been having to lookup the proper address every time ourselves in order to ship the order. We are not doing that any longer, sorry! People should learn how to write their address properly and not depend on me to constantly fix ...

Re: Royal mail getting rid of CN22 now it seems

What has caused a little bit of confusion just, is that postcodes are now a requirement. I know I had this is optional in the store because half of Ireland did not have postcodes.

Re: Mitsumi SR98 issue after recap (no boot)

You would have to consult your meter manual what 1 means. Generally it's "open circuit" on most meters.

Re: 12V needed for ST?

Off the top of my head.. 12V on the ST/F/M just goes to the RGB port. Either used for scart switching or to power the ST2VGA adapter. Aside from really old floppy drives which use 12V. 12V on the STE is used for the audio. Though I don't think it needs 12V to boot. Ironically I think I powered up a ...

Re: Mitsumi SR98 issue after recap (no boot)

It's a 8.2 ohm fusible resistor. You need to test on something like 200ohm resistance scale on your meter to test it properly.

Re: Royal mail getting rid of CN22 now it seems

So I went into post office just and seems you have to fill the information out online. Put the barcode or number on the box, AND still do the CN22. So basically what they used to type in at the post office, we doing that job now :roll:
