Hi there,
some words about me and my Atari-career.
It began around 1981 with an 2600 ("light sixer") which I modified a year ago but (allthough very careful) unfortunatly broke it then.
(no picture, sound as if fire-button is pressed all the time, even with no joystick connected!)
Some pictures: https://flic.kr/s/aHsme4pqLs
Around 1983 an 600XL plus 1010, then 1050 (with Happy-Mod later) and from 600XL to 800XL. Sold all these for an Amiga 500 later, which I also sold two years later.
1987 my first 520STM which I revived last x-mas holidays after 25 years of storage. After some minor issues (firmly press socketed chips down, cleaning second floppy-drive) everything works perfect!

Spring 1993 saw me as the proud (well, sort of ^^) owner of the fabulous Falcon 030!
Atm. I'm going to fix (NVRAM, better clockpatch, PSU-caps) and upgrade (TOS 4.04, 14MB RAM, later CF or SD based hard-drive) the Falcon.
And this is how I came here to exxos shop (simply a dream for ST/Falcon owners!) and forum!
Ah, yes, an 1040STF from eb*y this winter as a base for a Gotek floppy-emulator with LCD.
I'll be back!

Just because a lot of people agree on something, doesn't make it a fact. ~exxos ~
People should find solutions to problems, not find problems with solutions.

Hi,
yes, RAM-extension to 1MB (which I did not built in myself), then TOS-eproms with switchable (left switch) TOS 1.0 and KAOS-TOS and six new sockets for them.
Also a sound line-out with two cinch-connectors (STE-style ) and stereo/mono switch.
Not quite sure about the cinch-connector on the rear-right though, after all this time. According to wiring it somehow has +5V and GND.
Oh, ehm, did I mention my Jaguar + CD + Pro-Controller?
