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.
Tidying the Byte Cellar, getting a few new posters on the wall.
Listening to some tracker tunes on the Apple IIgs, as one does.
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.

Nice nod to demos of olde in this Damage release called '1976,' running here on the Mac Studio.
Very nice vibe and the full-screen render on my "square" display is an unexpected treat!
Spaceballs - Korreks (2015) demo tonight on the Amiga 2000
It's so cold today (-5C) that I've got four CRTs fired up down here in the basement -only- to provide heat - our house heat isn't cutting it in the basement. Oy 
It was 40 years ago this week that the Atari ST was announced at the January 1985 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
Not long after, in the fall of 1986, I got my own Atari 520ST system and count it as one my favorites among the many systems I haveowned over the years. Here, at the ST's 40th Anniversary, I share one of my earliest and most memorable experiences with my beloved 520ST, which took place on a Halloween night long, long ago.

Today, I have a nearly identical 520ST setup here in the Byte Cellar and I still count it among the most beloved of my vintage systems. I hope you enjoy the memory.
