Atari ST ATX motherboard build project

[PhilC]

Hi all.

So the Atari ST ATX motherboards have arrived. So firstly a thank you to @x_angel for designing them and releasing the gerbers.

They look pretty good in purple don’t you think?

I’m going to try and get one of these up and running over the next couple of weeks in the hope to be able to bring in to Hythe with me.

I'm not a fan of the pink color, but this one looks really cool.

I’ve ordered enough parts to build two boards now and thought I’d share a bit of the idea I have for the boards.

So my Mega STs are really struggling with age related issues. They work one day but then fail the next. I think the boards themselves are starting to deteriorate even though they’ve been treated with pcb laquer etc.

The idea is to build one of the boards up and then make up a second pcb to bring all the ports back out to the back of the Mega ST case in all the right places.

That's not great.

Looking forward to seeing this build. I've been considering going one myself Vs a H5

Mine is now in a Micro ATX case. Very happy. SMD soldering the PCBs took me a good day or two to complete. Looking forward to seeing more ATX up and running.

@PhilC Do you have plans for all 5 of those boards or might there be a spare one?
