<p>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.</p>
<h2>My Setup</h2>
<p>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, plus IDE storage for the mass storage. Combined with the <a href="/retro/et4000-experiment/">ET4000 graphics card</a> and its dedicated monitor, it's the most capable machine in the fleet.</p>
<p>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 <a href="/retro/et4000-experiment/">ET4000 graphics card</a> and its dedicated monitor, it's the most capable machine in the fleet.</p>
