Hello! New user from the US

Post by Ghostie »

Hello world!

I'm Ghostie or Amber whichever you prefer ^-^
I'm from the US and I'm 26.

I currently have the following machines:
Atari 400 (upgraded with a custom keyboard I designed)
Atari 800 (stock for now, used for art streams on twitch)
Atari 1040stfm (main Atari machine, upgraded with 4mb ram, 12mhz booster, tos1.04, and a gotek)
Atari 520stf (spare machine, need to fix after a bad solder job DX)
Atari Mega STE (coming in the mail, will probably become my main machine when it does)

I first got into atari machines when I saw an atari 800 in an antique mall.
Got it for $100 and fell in love.

I also have a graphics tablet for my 8bit Ataris and a 10401050 drive that works great.

Honestly one of my favorite games on the ST is Frontier Elite II

I'm a streamer, 3D modeler, artist, and all around hobbyist in most things.
I'm working on designing a mechanical keyboard for my atari 1040stfm.
I posted the files and docs for the atari 400 keyboard on atari age ^-^

(Also I have an animatronic elvis head wearing a toast hat)

Pleased to meet you all! 💜

:welcomewave: the Incognito is a great upgrade for the 800, well worth getting and easy to install.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
