Hiya chaps..
I currently have a 1040 STE that I'm looking to spruce up a bit to make it the best it can be!!
It seems to run ok but I wanna make sure its gonna last... and be better than it was intended.. plus I'll be looking to make music with it too!!
I've been looking through the exxos shop and there's a few bits i'd be looking to get
The Tos switcher... does anyone know if that comes with a tos chip? or would i need to program one myself? currently on 1.04 but definately interested in the later revisions..
I would also like the 1.44mb floppy thing... would that mean i could use any 1.44mb drive with the ste? and also how long a cable would i need? and would i need 2 for two floppy drives?
I'd love an UltraSatan too... what are the largest cards they support? and how could i use one with a second floppy drive?
is there capacitor kits to replace the originals as i know they can dry out/leak... and also how would i clean my board?
I would also like to shift it all out of its broken home into a 19" rack case... sort of... I've found a case that is stackable rather than being rail mounted... which gives the extra space the ste would need... as I'm looking to move ports and things firstly has anyone done something like this? how easy would they be to relocate?
Also I currently have 4mb ram installed... how do i fit a switch that makes it only 1mb for games?
any tips or other mod suggestions would be welcome!
