Face it, atari is giving shitty after sales support because they know most of the people who bought an ST can't afford to get another system. Besides, there is a larger profit margin in sales. How many imes have you had your machine die. Besides, would you, as a computer company, sell RAM if you knew others would be selling possibly better products for less. And on the subject of RAM, what's the best 4meg upgrade for a 1040st? And does someone know how to modify the ST so it has an exposed bus like the Megas?
