Hi @ll,
I live in France, when i was a teenager, my parents could only afford to by a me 800 XL (which was quite expensive in 1984), so it's still my favorite Atari
But 3 decades later, it's now time for me to try the 16 bits, so i'm the new owner of a french 1040 STF and it's only the beginning !
I'm sure i will find here help (and stuff to spend my money)
Best regards,
Marsup

Re: Hello from France
Sorry, it's a 1040 STF (not STFM - i edited my first post).
Well, the ST universe is huge and the possibilities are almost endless. So gaming will be my first use, then probably music
My first problem is going to be able to use it because...I have nothing on my TV screen.
The included cable does not work on my Secam TV (i have only a black screen), i've ordered a new SCART cable. The strange thing is that my 800XL works perfectly on this TV. I've read tons of informations about this problem but in fact to much, i don't know where the truth is
I also have a monochrome Atari Monitor but...Well, it lacks colors
Or a CGA to HDMI adapter maybe.
Another option seems to be your "UBE VIDEO ADAPTER" that should (?) work with my STF. But it seems a very elegant solution.
Maybe i'll also upgrade the TOS (french version), i've seen some on your store (ST/F/M 6 CHIP TOS 1.04 FRANCAIS £25 2 In Stock [0120]) it seems it's the right one.
I've also ordered an Ultrasatan but i can't use it for now: I wished to buy The "Atari ST PP" Hard Disk driver" but...the forum.8bitchip.info forum is dead. There should be another way to put files from windows to the SD card. I need to google it a bit more.
As you can see i've been honest : I am a real ST newbie
Regards,
Marsup

Re: Hello from France
UBE is very nice, but of course you need a 15khz capable monitor to use it.
I would recommend TOS104 for the STF for sure.
As for PP driver.. he is a moderator here.. send him a PM... https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/membe ... file&u=159 I am sure he will help you out

Re: Hello from France
Yes indeed for the 15k monitor, so i'll try a Scart to HDMI Converter first.
For the TOS, i'll wait a bit, i'm waiting for another 1040 STf
