The 1040 is about DM 1000 ($ 500) without monitor. >If it is, would it take much to get a German-made ST to work in US? Its easy: just change the power supply. So do not buy a 1040, get an 520. The 512K-memory upgrade boards are about DM 70 ($35) (no RAM), RAM chips are cheaper in USA... 2-Meg-boards are DM 250 (empty). The german TOS is german :-). You could get an american TOS in he states (put it in 6 EPROMS). Well, adding the ST, the power supply and the TOS EPROMS it will probably not be worth the effort... hase -- Hartmut Semken, Lupsteiner Weg 67, 1000 Berlin 37 hase@netmbx.UUCP Dennis had stepped up into the top seat whet its founder had died of a lethal overdose of brick wall, taken while under the influence of a Ferrari and a bottle of tequila.
