Cool! I miss the Atari ST that I had when I was younger. It was an Atari ST
1040F. There was a computer shop that did IBM compatibles and Atari computers,
and they had a BBS. I would dial into the BBS and download games for the ST.

My dad got it to run packet radio off it. I guess it didn't work well, because
I got it to play on, along with the Tandy TRS-80 CoCo that was in my room as
well.

I miss that Atari ST; I would hate to see the price of getting a used one now.

I hope you get the MegaST up and going! Sounds like just some minor repairs are
needed. If you are going to be streaming from your MegaST, let me know. I would
be interested in seeing what the MegaST is like.
