exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

Hello everyone,

I'm the proud owner of two ST's : a 520 STE upgraded to 4Mo, and a 1040 STE waiting for its 4Mo memory upgrade.
Now i'm preparing an order for a brand new PSU from Exxos and a few stuff to improve my 1040, witch is the one i'm planning to use because of its freshness.
The 520 has been used a lot and will need more work.

My main goal is the fun :
Having fun while repairing, cleaning and upgrading them.
Having fun while playing good old games from my childhood, on the real machine.

Thanks for reading !
And thanks so much @ Exxos, for all your work.

Bob.

Thanks and

Feel free to post your repair progress in the members blogs area, upgrading and fault finding machines is always useful to others

Thank you, Exxos.

First, i want to make the power supply section the most reliable and modern as possible.
Here is my shopping-list for today :
- Exxos PSU for STE
- New power switch
- Axial cap replacement kit
- MC68HC000 (this one is to reduce heat and power consumption as you said, and also because my 1040 has the wrong DMA chip and i'm planning to use a hard-drive in the future)

If you have an advice, be free

Thanks in advance.

Bob.

Thanks for your order!

Yes, my girlfriend packs and ships stuff, I just don't have time to do it myself. It would take me 5 days to find which "pile" the sticky tape is in for starters if I shipped the stuff!

Hi Exxos,

Please, say "thank you" to your girlfriend for me. My parcel was delivered today.
Awesome!

Bob.
