x_angel from ww.atari.org.pl forum has made a new project - Atari ST motherboard in ATX format. So many of the third party addons that's exist is integrated on the PCB.

Some features at the moment:
  • ATX size
  • ISA slot for graphics card (STGA)
  • IDE slot
  • TOS 2.x support
  • Pin header for VGA
  • Eiffel interface
No cartridge port or some sort of bus for further expansions is available as it seems at the moment. But lots of discussion on the Polish forum.

Read more here.

Sooooo, kind of like MyTek's Atari 1088XEL design for the 8-bits? Awesome! I can't wait to see how this progresses. Is it shaping up to be an ST or STe variant or either or?

It seems to be a ST without a blitter at the moment.

Looks like an interesting project.

I'd love to do a Mega ST remake.but don't have the skills or time to do so.

There are some discussion about extending this board by the Cartridge slot, the BLiTTER slot, and ISA modification - changing STGA (1x ISA for video card) to PANTHER (2x ISA video/lan compatible)
