Hi from Pennsylvania!

I wouldn't exactly call me a "user" since I just got this Atari 520STFM (C070523-001 Rev D) machine and am trying to figure stuff out about it :) . Never used Atari computers, so this is my first. The first computer my family had was a TI99/4A followed by an Apple IIc. Lately, I have been getting into repairing and upgrading vintage computers. So far, I have upgraded and repaired a Tandy Color Computer 2 (faster CPU, 64k RAM, Extended Color Basic) and am currently working on finishing a Commodore 64 (using a Sixtyclone board to replace the damaged original). I also have a working TI994A but I need to finish the FinalGROM99 project for that.
Anyway, I am pretty happy with this Atari so far though the floppy drive is not quite working yet. Been looking around for possible upgrades and such but it seems that this model can get alot of them EXCEPT the blitter as it doesn't have the pads nor socket for it :(
