moonlight_mile Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Ok. I have been threatening to post this for a few days. Does anyone have any ideas how I can reorganize this desk in order to add a 1040 st but keeping everything on it that is already there? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I love your desk! Two ATR8000s (and all those drives!) A friend of mine had one of those back in the day and we had much fun playing with it. I had an 800XL running a BBS and a 130XE next to it for my own use, with a TON of hardware, all on a relatively small desk. Very cool to see this photo. As for your question, that's a tough one if you want to leave everything connected (which presumably you do). Maybe a monitor-stand, one that lets you slide a keyboard under a monitor, could be used, with one of your 8-bit computers under it and the 1040ST sitting on top. Or move those ATR8000s (say, under that laptop, on top of one another) and put the 1040ST on top of all those floppy drives. ..Al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlight_mile Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Well taking Alberts advice and modifying it a smidge here is what I came up with. I couldn’t put the st in the drives even if I want to as the monitor cable for the st isn’t long enough to reach where the 1224 is. Everything is hooked up more or less. The Percom drives do not like to play nice with other sio peripherals so they are segregated but I just have to switch sio plugs and they are up and running. All my drives are individually powered on my that power strip so I don’t have to move everything to turn on the drives. oh. Yeah the bottom atr isn’t connected but I do have power going to it.

moonlight_mile Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 Well I got a bug up my ass again and modified my desk again. I added a proper shelf. I am planning on installing drawers and doors to the cubbies to the right since I have all kinds of crap just piled up in those shelves. They are just ikea shelves. I thought I would have to raise the tv but I am running the bbs laptop in clamshell mode so it doesn’t need to stay open. I have the vga out on the laptop hooked up to the tv. Everything except the left side atr-8000 is hooked up and plugged in. But those percoms. Geez they prevent anything from working when they are on the sio bus. I have two of the lotharek sio splitters mounted under the desk. I wish I knew what signal the percoms sent out (even when they are off) that prevents other things from working. My 13o xe doesn’t have a place on the desk but I never used it anyway. If I need to use it I will just swap out the 8ooxl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well here is the mess to the right side of the desk. No orderlyness here. Most of those cubbies I want to either put the drawers or doors on. Oh don’t worry my desk will be a mess before you know it.

moonlight_mile Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 You bet! I think it is a 1971 model. Can’t get the true Rolling Stones sound without it. Had it shipped from Moe’s Music in Virginia. Great people down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
