Certainly not, NOVA+Mach64 can handle 2 MB max in MegaSTE and it even requires some hardware patching. Mach32 is a better option IMHO.

Impressive stats! They aren't cheap those cards though:

Do any of the cards fit internally?

Internal only ET4000 and Matrix VME cards, Matrix TC are Atari TT only ...

There are TKR CrazyDots and you can build yourself a internal Nova ET4000 with a PCB from me. ATI MACH cards are to big so these are not fit.

That's how it goes of course...

My writing referred to the VME slot.


Maybe I have to sell a tested MACH64 Nova Adapter for the Mega STE
