Hey everyone, how are we all?
So a little while ago I was given an Atari ST by someone who bought a TV from me (random I know...). Anyhow, have finally managed to get it out, find an RF lead and turn it on and low and behold it actually works.
I plugged a mouse into (serial) but it wouldn't work and all the keys just made beep noises. I fished out a floppy disk (Lotus Challenge I think it was), turned off the machine, popped the disk in, turned on and it loaded.
I then plugged in a mega drive controller (the ST didn't come with joysticks) and managed to get a race to start, but the gamepad did not work. The only other controller I could try was a 2600 joystick, which didn't do anything at all - the button did nothing.
I have never owned an ST before so I have no idea what I am doing to be honest. But can somebody shed some enlightenment on what I should be doing?
Many thanks![:)]()
