Sweet, ok, so this is for basic daily computing needs. Got it.

Makes sense. So I need to have a TOS decoder and switcher, I gather?

Awesome, this is key info for me :P

I think what makes the most sense in the near term is if I figure out the TOS stuff and have everything working as expected, I can move forward with getting the TF accelerator to work. That seems like it's got some details buried in threads on the forum but I don't think I've seen a cohesive "do this to install an accelerator in your 1040ST" thing anywhere :P So I suppose I should prepare for more of a deep dive when I get to that point.

Separate question for you - think it'd be worthwhile to host an Atari BBS in an emulator? Are there cool exclusive doorgames and stuff?

Again, much appreciated, cheers.
