Hi from California

Post by geogeo_28 »

Hi all,

I just joined the forum and I am impressed to see the software and hardware community around the Atari ST active!
I am the proud owner of an Atari STE UK PAL that I refurbished and modded thanks to Exxos parts.
Be able to play on real hardware like I did 20 years ago, it's a good feeling. :)

I did the following:
- Replaced the PSU.
- Upgraded to 4 MB.
- Added a switch to select TOS 1.62/2.06.
- Added a switch to select 8/32 MHz.
- Added a switch to allow internal floppy drive + external Gotek (As primary/secondary drive).

Some pictures:
