cbmeeks Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Now that I am finally getting a 520 ST up and running, I'd like to actually play some games on this. I also want to install STOS (which I have a fully copy). Which means I'd like some kind of hard drive solution. I am a complete ST newbie so any recommendations would be appreciated. At the moment, I don't have an external floppy drive so I was thinking of getting a GoTek with some sort of external cable or something. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Fell Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited) I also have the original disks but they are missing several updates and fixes, so I suggest going to Exxosforum and download the upgraded disks. Edited June 13 by Fell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixdownita Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited) Hopefully you can upgrade to TOS 1.04 and add RAM. internet archive also contains already an image for sd with ppera hdd demo drivers and ~1000 games to get you started. It is labeled for MiSTer use but you can wininge/balena-etch it to a real sd afaik. Edited June 13 by phoenixdownita 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djglish Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Check out the ACSI2SD by masteries. The price is good and he stands behind his device. Upgrading to TOS 1.04 and adding RAM is also a good idea as mentioned above. Here is the link to the ACSI2SD topic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 That's a good option. I prefer the Ultrasatan route. It is a bit more expensive (last time I checked). You can check it out here: https://lotharek.pl/productdetail.php?id=48 As mentioned, if you're going to be using mass storage, you'll definitely want TOS v1.4 or up. Many new features, reliability, stability and speed, etc. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djglish Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 A little off topic but, if you have a two TOS set can you use a 6 TOS set instead? I have a ST with the two TOS set and would like to upgrade to TOS 1.4 but the 2 chip set is much more expensive and harder to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 You can but it is a bit more involved... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have an eprom programmer ppera website has a rom splitter that can help. He’s banned from AA so not sure I can link to his website so I point you to the relevant thread at Atari-forum.com https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=13772 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
