ST's do not have what I would call an "inflated" price: a 1Meg system w/ monitor for under $1000. Of course, a hard disk is extra, but a "HomeBrew" hard disk sub-system is posible for a reasonable price. > My question is: Are there any decent "roll-your-own" > home-brew kits based around the 68000? One that I could > put, perhaps, MINIX on? > MINIX is available for the ST. So is OSK (Professional OS-9/68000 goes for $600). I run OSK on my 1040ST and HomeBrew hard-disk sub-system (40Meg - st251).
