Introduction

Post by STE newbie1040 »

Hi everyone,

I had an Atari ST back in the day and absolutely loved it. Sadly, it was eventually replaced by an Amiga. Although I grew to love the Amiga as well, I always felt that the ST had a bit more personality.

Now, I’ve finally had the opportunity to get another one, and I’ve actually ended up buying a few Ataris! I’m really enjoying getting back into the ST world and have decided to upgrade the STE, while keeping the ST as it is.

I’ve ordered a 4MB memory kit, PSU caps and a TOS upgrade. Unfortunately, one of the TOS chips had a leg break off when I pulled it out of the foam packaging.

Could anyone point me in the right direction for getting a replacement, please?

Many thanks
Carl
