That's interesting. I thought the only problem with installing a HD in a MegaSTe0 was that you had to mill away the plastic reinforcement in the case where the HD usually goes. But I thought the HD controller and cables were in there already. Some great buys on MegaSTe machines right now folks (a lot cheaper than what I paid as a "good guy Atari developer" last year). If your old ST is worn out or if you are looking for a new unit, you could do a lot worse for the money. As a minimum, everyone should jump for CodeHead's TEC board (or a similar unit from someone else) because TOS 2.06 is an even bigger improvement than 1.4 was over 1.0. You might want to opt for the switchable TOS option though, as with any new TOS variant, some old favorites (mostly games) don't like 2.05 or 2.06. ___________________________ John "HUTCH" Hutchinson _________________________ ___________ Chief Cook & Bottle Washer - Fair Dinkum Technologies ___________ ________________ "No worries, mate... it's from Fair Dinkum!" _______________ ____________ email: hutch@bellman.lanl.gov GEnie: FAIR-DINKUM _____________
