Hi from Melbourne

Hi, I'm Darren, and I am an Atari tragic :-)

It all started in the UK with an 800XL and 1050/1020/1010 combo, which later was replaced by an STFM, with external floppy drive and Amstrad DMP3160 printer (as a kid I felt I had some serious setup!)
Later on, got an STE, which was in one of those German square box cases (can't remember the name) and had loads of goodies like Syquest drives, and had an SM124 monitor for the 'serious' things
Also pre-ordered and got one of the first Falcon030's sent to the UK. Again, loved this and filled it up with mods and this time used a VGA monitor.

A few years later, I needed to sell up all my gear as was moving to Australia, so ended up selling everything, including a Jaguar & CD (see, I told you I was an Atari tragic!), for next to nothing as by this time, Atari had gone bust and the stuff was essentially worthless.

Always kept up the interest in Atari through my only option down under, emulation. Recently managed to get an STE from the UK so nice to have actual hardware again - Done a PSU recap, upgraded to TOS 2.06, waiting for monitor adapter, and just ordered UltraSATAN Mini from some guy off the internet :lol: so slowly but surely, it is coming together.

Hope to have some great discussions with everyone here on the forum!
