ATW800/2 in a MonSTErbo powered STE

[JezC]

Looks really good @HigashiJun - I've only recently fitted a MonSTErbo to one of my STE's but haven't yet got anywhere beyond checking it actually powered up & booted.


I was seeing some video artifacts on EmuTOS 1.3 so I need to start a topic on that & investigate I guess (and/or try it in another STE)

[HigashiJun]

Thanks @JezC !

Nice to hear you have this powerful setup too.

Have fun testing your rig !

Just have to drill the holes for the mounting screws tomorrow and it should be OK.

Looking good. Isn't doing things to that multi-decades old Atari plastic
fun and exciting? (voice of experience here, after doing all the case
mods to my STacy).

Modding the plastics is only a last resort for me.

I try to preserve the original shape as much as I can, but yes, sometimes I do have to perform a case mod not to have a connector hanging out from my machine for example...

But I wouldn't do that to my Falcon for sure.

Yay, the internal LAN port is fitted !

Now have to route somehow all the internal wires and cables...

Can you tell us what are you using for the LAN port on this STE @HigashiJun please?

Sure, it's a cheap extension cable you can find on Amazon:

Thanks...and what's at the other end inside the STE? I'm intrigued with what's providing the Ethernet functionality

Oh, you meant the source...

It's an ENC28J60 module connected to the MonSTErbo.
