You could keep your hard disk in your neighbours garage and run a cable. Many Germans seem to want to do this.
No, it's the Austrians that keep their girls hidden away.. (Too soon for a Fritzl joke?)

Re: Granlunds FrankenSTein

This is pretty much my blue-print for my ST. Plus an internal Microcosmos and a micro-gotek (can't remember the name of the product). Oh, and a tf536.

Re: exxos blog - random goings on

Lots of people say that a concrete plate, like the ones in garden paths, is great to have under the printer. Both for noise and vibrations.

Re: exxos blog - random goings on

I’ll knock something together. From idea to product in two weeks. Added optional pull up/downs (connect solder pads) for outputs, the three unsoldered pins on the left. Firmware makes it possible to reconfigure reset time; power on with reset pressed, release reset, push reset 1 to 8 times to confi...

Re: How does the STE detect floppy drive?

At the risk of stating the obvious/asking a stupid question, you have to connect the 34 way cable into a Gotek the other way up than a normal Atari FDD (or at least I have had to in my Ataris and my external Cumana drive) ...so when you say that you connected the Gotek upside down, does that now me...

How does the STE detect floppy drive?

I have this motherboard where the floppy interface is not working. I’ve replaced the WD1772 with no luck. Removing it all together gives me two bombs. The main symptom is no icons on desktop. However, I plugged a Gotek in upside down and lo and behold, icons! Which leads me to belivie that I grounde...
