Hi there, I really get confused with all rumours I have heard about STE machines. I have red that they do not work properly with a monochrome monitor. Especially they would get lost if one try to use the new capabilities ( Hardware scrolling , new blitter ) on a monochrome monitor. It is a famous French ST magazine "ST-Mag" which wrote that... It seems there are some big problems with STEs. They have also written that external drives 3'5 and 5'1/4 could not be accessed properly with STE machines . Has anybody met these problems with STEs on monochrome monitors or with external floppies ? Is it a hardware problem or a TOS 1.6 problem ? Is there the same problem on TOS 1.4 machines ? Will STACY allow external 5'1/4 disks ? Thanks a lot for your answers.
