My newly dual-headed Atari 520ST system.

I've had this 520STm 4MB color setup for some years now, but recently expanded it, as I had long been wanting to.

I've just added an SM124 (very sharp) monochrome 72Hz 640x400 display (switching between it and the SC1224 RGB display with a MonitorMaster switchbox that I acquired new about 10 years ago for this eventual purpose). I also have just added an ACSI2STM SD card-based HD emulator.

The stand is an A520 STation, which is a fairly rare item (I've never seen another in use).

A little sacrilege.

Powering the Apple //c with a 15v source and a bespoke USB-C power adapter.

This //c has been setup in more places than any other system I own. Here is the latest, atop a small shelf system in the Byte Cellar.

My ST busily awaiting the arrival of its monochrome SM124 CRT arriving today. I hope it was well packed...

Deater's take on the first parts of the Atari XL/XE "Rewind 2" demo on the enhanced 128K Apple IIe with Mockingboard.

I just received a ClumsyMIDI Pi Hat I've setup with a Raspberry Pi 3 and the MT32-Pi software, to use with my Atari 520ST. Giving Ultima IV a listen.

$49 from Tindie. Good so far!

I bought the requisite switchbox about 13 years ago, and finally today found and ordered a clean looking SM124 paper-white monochrome CRT monitor for the Atari 520ST, from eBay. (Shipping in original box with original foam, so it seems possible it will survive the trip across the U.S.) (Knock on wood)

It looks like there's JUST enough room atop this A520 STation to fit them both, if I move the HxX2001 into one of the (disconnected) drives' spots in the stand.

I had both an SC1224 and an SM124 on my original 520ST setup back in 1987.

Will post some pics when it's all setup.

Here's a pretty thing that came in the mail today.

I ordered a new, ceramic and gold MC68010 to go in my Amiga 2000 as I remove the A2620 '020 board due to issues with some tightly-coded old and new OCS/ECS demos (my main use of the system). I came to realize some of these issues would exhibit with the '010 as well, and for very little performance gain.

And so, the loveld 68010 may become one of my "desk chips" to glance at from time to time as I do my thing at the desk, like my lovely ceramic and gold Freescale '000.

@lymang As I state on my list page, the Apple IIgs and Amiga 2000 were the two favorites of all of the computers I've owned.

And that's saying a lot.
