Hi, i'm 46 yo, from France. Got a 520 STF in 1988, awesome machine ! Sold it in 1991 to buy an Amiga 500+ (big mistake) and moved to Nintendo 64 and PC in 1997.
About 6 years ago, i felt the urge to own those old machines again. I then bought an Amiga 1200, and a 520 STE.
I'm really happy with them, i use the Atari way more than the Amiga, maybe because i have more memories with that machine.
Quick question :
Just received a diag cart from Exxos shop, and would like to be sure not to do something wrong. How should i plug it in the port? With the chips at the bottom ?
Thank you !

Plug the cart in with the chips facing upwards so you can see them.

It depends on the model.
