exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

Hello all !

Just stopped by to register. Been using Amigas since 1990, and just acquired an Atari 520stfmwhich I have been restoring; just finished serving the disk drive with new belt and recapped the PSU.

Wanted to learn some more about the ST and then stumbled across forum and the great work exxos has done with his hardware addons and forum.

Have alot of Amiga experience so if anyone needs help, feel free to msg... Hopefully some of you folk and also help me with some ST knowledge as I learn more about this wonderful machine.

Kind regards,

Retrotronic

Sounds like you have an early floppy drive there if it has a belt.

Yup, after the refitting the new belt and attempting to format a 3.5 inch floppy I learn it a single sided drive. Safely packed the drive away for safekeeping and now waiting for arrival of a GoEx Gotek drive. Amazing how resilient those old Atari internal drives are.
