schultzd@kira.uucp (Count Zero ... Interrupt) (05/08/91)
This summer, I hope to have enough money to upgrade from my lowly 520ST (which has saved my butt quite a few times in the last year) to a new STe. My question... I need prices / specs on the STe (4meg) vs MEGA STe (4meg)). Of course, since they use SIMMS for memory, the 4meg isn'y near as important. The MEGA is 16MHz while the STe is only 8, right? Basically need PRICE along with any thing else relevant. THIS was already hashed out earlier in the year, so stick to e-mail replies... Later... -- ||| David W.

From what I know in the Mega STE, its only the cpu that has the option to run at 16mhz, is this not Ataries version of AdSpeed, this would be a far cheaper alternative, about $340 from what I can remember. Mind you I stand to be corrected on this, if my interpretation is incorrect. -- Roger W. Sheppard 85 Donovan Rd, Kapiti New Zealand...

But there's so much more to the MegaSTe than just the 16Mhz chip. At least I think so. :^) I recommend calling Atari at 408-745-2000 and getting a copy of their STe, MegaSTe, and TT brochures. Then again, the brochures don't really give you the feel until your sitting at the keyboard. But they really are nice brochures. -- ||| Ed Krimen [ekrimen@ecst.csuchico.edu or al661@cleveland.freenet.edu] ||| Video Production Major, California State University, Chico / | \ SysOp, Fuji BBS: 916-894-1261

Has anyone got any info on this upgrade - what exaclty does it do, how compatible is it, can it be turned of for things that don't run at 16mhz (ie games), where can I buy one in the UK etc ! Please send any info here or by email to me. Cheers Steve - csuab@uk.ac.warwick.cu PS How the hell do you get a .sig included?!
