Included message begins:
Has anyone connected a PC VGA monitor to the ST? and is it possible?
I am considering buying a monitor, ideally to work with the AT-Once PC
board. If I get a colour VGA type PC monitor, could I use it for colour
and mono modes on the ST, or am I limited to one or the other. Does a
colour multi-scan overcome this?
Also, does anyone know of a cheap and easy way (preferible no soldering)
of connecting a high dencity drive to the ST. I have an STE with a 720K
drive and ideally would like a HD drive as drive B. I can format disks on
my friends PC to 1.44mb, will they work on the STE if I get a PC HD drive,
or do I need to alter the controller chip or something?
A few months ago (april I think), Atari ST user, had an article on
a new TOS version from a group of hackers in germany, which was going to
be a commercial product. Does anyone know where I can get these new TOS
roms? They make GEM much faster, and fix alot of bugs. The STE has the TOS
roms on sockets, so I think its just a matter of heaving them out and
putting the new one in right? Oh, does the product (KAOS TOS I think it
was called) work on the STE with blitter?
One last thing on speeding up the STE, does anyone have any programs
like Turbo ST, which are PD/Shareware which speed up the STE. I've already
got QuickST, but that doesn't work in low res, and it now where near as
good as Turbo ST. Turbo ST causes errors where used with the At-Once baord
with my hard drive, and doesn't speed it up anyway. Has FATSPEED.PRG been
converted to run on an STE now or not?
Help on any of the above topics appreciated - Thanks..... Shane.
