Now you got me! Atari ST! I was responsable of the
Montreal Atari Club BBS when it was on 8 bit and 16 bit. Still play a few games on my ST
emulator.. Remember when we ware able to simulate a MAC with a few roms and a ST? 😉
OK, back to our regular programing. Think we got back
way too far on memory lane for this mailing list 😉
I still have a Mega ST4 with harddisk cabinet and original monitor sitting in a spare room
but it rarely gets switched on these days.
(those were the newer pizza-box style ST and disk. the disk cabinet in fact is a 44MB
swappable plus a fixed disk)
This one is fitted with an ethernet adapter I made (a PC ethernet card and adapter board
to the internal bus) and I added a driver for it to KA9Q.
However, the card has BNC and AUI only and I don't have coax ethernet anymore. Should
have an AUI to RJ45 adapter somewhere.
Also in storage there is a Mega ST2 with an 8-port Z8530 SCC card that we used for years
on a major network node (TCP/IP and NET/ROM)...
(of course I had a 520ST as well but that one has long been scrapped)
