My favorite Ataridealer has had 1040 STE`s in stock for over a month now. At least, I`ve never seen an ST with stero outputs, extra DB9 ports everywhere,and SIMMs on the motherboard... :) To be fair, the first ones they received came with the regular 1040STf manual, and the control.acc did not access the extra colours available. Just a short addendum sheet telling us that more info would be forthcoming, and what "All them thar extry holes iz far"... So I suppose the moral of the story is: Thumb your nose at the FCC, and take a drive accross the border to Friendly Free Trade Canada, and buy `em now. <How far North?
