Upgrading my Stacy

Post by Fidzen »

Hi all.

I have a Atari Stacy 2 that I have upgraded to 4Mb RAM. Now I'm looking for a good way to
change the 20Mb HD to something bigger and more modern. I have looked at the Ultrasatan
and wonder if it's possible to use it with the Stacy.
So my first question is if it will work with TOS 1.04? Will the internal cable for the Mega STE
work in the Stacy also? Where can I find a good source for 5v inside the Stacy to run the US
with?

Thanks in advance.

The MSTE cable will work
You could use the power cable for the hard drive. The one that comes out of the DC/DC board.

The Ultrasatan works great with the STacy!

I put one in mine internally, using Alah H.'s internal Mega STe/STacy adapter.

Here are some pics:

Is it possible to buy Alan H's adapter today, or is it out of stock?

Thanks in advance.

I'd definitely get in touch with Alan - it's always best to go to the source.

Good luck!
