More queries about E. Arthur Brown Company:

They advertise (in START) several unusual products that many on this group
asked about and that seem to be hard to find.  FYI I post them here.  I am
NOT affiliated with E. Arthur Brown, not even as a customer (yet).

Cat #    Price + S&H    Description

127-403  39.95 + 3.95   Cable to connect a standard IBM-PC 5.25" drive
                        to an Atari ST.  Formatting software included.
127-400  19.95 + 1.95   Cable to connect a standard composite (color or
                        monochrome) monitor to the ST (for low or med rez).
127-402  49.95 + 3.95   "ST Video Box" - lets one see all 3 video resolutions
                        on either the Atari mono or the Atari color monitor
                        (how the ^@%#&^ do they DO that?!?).
251-400  39.95 + 3.95   "ST invisible clock" - mounts inside the keyboard,
                        includes NiCad batteries.

If anybody has USED any of these products please let us know what they're like.
In particular I'd like to know: the picture quality with the composite cable,
and whether the 5" drive connection is reliable (is the buffer chip built into
the cable?).  (Does the 5" drive need its own power supply?)

Here is their address:

	E. Arthur Brown Company
	3404 Pawnee Dr.,  Alexandria, MN 56308
	(612) 762-8847, 763-6393

(S&H has a $6.95 cap for any one order)
(Again: I am not affiliated, etc.)
