Hello All,
I just found a deal on Craigslist and purchased the following for $75.00:
Atari 520STm - Upgraded to 1MB RAM
External SF354 Floppy drive
SM1224 Monochrome monitor
Boxes, manuals, power supplies, etc...
I used to stare at the Atari ST computers when I was a kid and wanted one, but my parents would not get me one (I had a TI99/4A). Well, I finally found one at what I think is a good price.
The system did not come with any software disks and the hardware has a lot of yellowing of the case so I wanted to get some recommendations on the following:
1. What is the latest version of TOS I can load onto this model?
2. Is there any site you recommend to download software for the system legally and what do you recommend as first steps?
3. No mouse was included... What is the best mouse solution... buy an actual Atari mouse or go with some type of adapter to use a PC mouse?
4. What can I use to clean it up to restore it back to its original white color?
I am excited to get started and learn how to use this system and experience a bit of history I missed.
Thank you for any input!!!
