Hey guys,

Long ago I was just 14 years old and was forced (and I could have
pitched a fit but stupidly did not) to throw away a Mega ST2 with Xtram ram
deluxe, megafile 30, 520 ST and an SC1224 monitor. I've long since
realized how stupid this was and I'd like to acquire the following machines to
complete my collection
520 ST (preferably STe)
1040 ST (preferably STe)
Mega ST
SC1224 monitor (and SM124 if available)
Original Mega STe case (but I have the machine)
external DSDD floppy drive(s)
crazydots cards or other obscure video/network cards
accelerators like icd adspeed
ram expansions...
magazines, disks, software packages, etc. I've been collecting
everything. I even have a 1995 toad computers catalog.and finally - anything that would allow me to run more than 4MB of ram
in an ST/e based machine. The one that comes to mind is the Magnum
series of ram boards.
I'd like to acquire these machines dirt cheap as I don't have a lot of
money right now. They don't have to be perfect and it's ok if they need
a cleaning or small repairs. I have an extra TT I would consider giving
up in trade but I'd rather not. The TT has broken video (the video is
very dark) and I believe the 5V going to the keyboard needs to be fixed.
It's best suited for remote access running mint or using a video card
like a nova. It'd probably be best to deal semi-locally only ... I live in Hatfield,
PA
If you want to communicate via email, I'm mducksub and that's at

Thanks,
Mark

I have a MegaSTE for spares I might part with. its got a standard PC 1.44 (in Atari grey) fitted and milled out professionally as well as a spare standard Megaste top. Just no ashtray. I will rat thru my parts for you if you like and see what I have spare. I do have a few modded STFM's sitting around somewhere.

I'm in Australia tho mate. So monitors may not be practical;-)
