 <p>What started with childhood memories of an Atari ST and an Amiga 500 turned into a full-blown home retro-computing corner after 2020. Here's a snapshot of the whole setup, which machines are actually set up and running right now, and which are boxed and ready to use on demand.</p>

 <h2>The study</h2>
-<p>The study holds the bulk of the serious gear. The <a href="/retro/mist-mister-fpga/">MiSTer FPGA</a> and the MiST FPGA are set up here, both connected to a <a href="https://www.nec-display.com/" target="_blank">NEC 1970NXp</a>. The <a href="/retro/atari-mega-st-fleet/">Mega ST 4 "Low"</a> machine is set up and running on a <a href="https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0957KH8X7/" target="_blank">Dell SE2722HX 27</a> that handles 15kHz, serving as the demo- and game-machine.</p>

 <p>The rest of the Atari hardware is stored here but not set up, mainly for lack of space:</p>

-<li><strong>The Mega ST 4 "High"</strong>, the upgraded workstation, is boxed and can be set up on demand. It has its own EIZO FlexScan L365 15-inch monitor for the ET4000, and when I use it I set it up in the living room on the dining table. The L365 is a genuinely good 15-inch panel, with a sharp 1024×768 image and wide viewing angles that make it a great fit for high-resolution Atari desktop work, and it does the ET4000's output justice.</li>
-<li><strong>The heirloom Mega ST 4</strong>, kept factory-original, is not set up.</li>
-<li><strong>The Mega ST 2</strong>, the spare and donor machine, is not set up.</li>
