Approx. 1 or 2 mos later the name was changed to 1040stf. Later it was changed to 1040stfm. The difference from the 1040st to the 1040stf is: Some origional 1040's had floppy problems. I believe the manufacturer was Sony. When Sony coerrected the problem they changed the name to 1040stf. F standing for fixed. This happened in about Jan or Feb of '86. This I know, I worked at a computer store that sold ST's. I believe the m in 1040stfm stands for modulator. The motherboard was slightly changed for the modulator, even though some did not come with one. ------------------------------------------------------ "Poachers shooting at rabbits will scare the big game away" From: DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS pi@csd4-UWisconsin Milwaukee ------------------------------------------------------
