In my Mega ST 4 "High" machine the Eiffel connects the PS/2 keyboard and mouse, keeping the workstation fully usable alongside the MonSTerBoard, ET4000 and NetUSBee. The original Atari keyboard is now used with the "Low" machine, which pairs it with a mouSTer and a USB mouse.

+One of the Gotek emulators is installed internally in my Mega ST 4 "Low" machine, giving it reliable disk-image storage on a USB stick alongside the Cloudy/Storm ST combo, the SidecarTridge and the Wi-Fi modem. The second Gotek is still unbuilt, waiting to go into another machine or to serve as a spare.
For the internal mount I printed a Gotek case from Thingiverse that fits in the floppy bay. I used this to relocate the Storm/Cloudy TOS switcher: the 2-way switch is mounted in a slot at the front of the printed case, right where the floppy opening is. So the TOS switcher now sits at the front of the floppy bay, which meant no drilling into the case at all, and there was already space there for it.

+Alan provides three programs for the MonSTerBoard: M_FLASH.ZIP to write the onboard flash, M_ALTRAM.ZIP to configure the RAM (2, 4, 6 or 8 MB, then placed in the auto-start folder), and M_RTC.ZIP for the Dallas RTC module. In total you can install four TOS versions: two 192 KB and two 256 KB images.
In my Mega ST 4 "High" machine the MonSTerBoard provides the 8 MB of TT-RAM that TOS 2.06 and Geneva use for real multitasking. For storage I use the dual IDE interface, with a CompactFlash card attached and booting the system directly from it. There's no ACSI hard drive connected in this machine; the IDE boot is noticeably faster than an ACSI drive would be. Combined with the ET4000 graphics card and its dedicated monitor, it's the most capable machine in the fleet.

CenturionTech provide a user manual PDF. Since such documents can disappear from the web, I've also kept a local copy of the manual (version 1.01) in this project:
