I bought an ACSI2STM adapter, but it isn't in use anywhere yet, so it sits among my other uninstalled extensions. The UltraSatan currently provides the ACSI hard-disk storage on the "Low" machine, so the ACSI2STM would be an alternative or a spare for another machine.

Passive RGB-to-VGA adapters output the Atari's native timings, so color modes (ST Low and ST Medium) need a monitor that can lock to a 15 kHz horizontal sync signal. See my monitor compatibility page for which modern panels actually work. Mono mode (ST High) works on any standard VGA display.

FPGA cores on MiSTer and MiST still only emulate the native ST Shifter, with no ET4000 emulation on the horizon given the FPGA resources it would require. So the real hardware approach remains the only way to get those higher resolutions, and now it works in the Mega ST 4 "High" machine with its dedicated monitor.

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.

The original STM-1 mouse is a classic, but the original sensors are getting tired after decades, and the feel isn't great compared to modern pointing devices. The laser board keeps the authentic Atari mouse shell while making it genuinely usable again, which is a nice middle ground between the original mouse and something like the mouSTer with a modern USB mouse.

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, booting the system directly from a CompactFlash card. I started with a 4 GB card, but that didn't work reliably, so I switched to a 1 GB card, which works fine. 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.

With the Storm ST and Cloudy ST combo in place, the machine boots into EmuTOS 1.0.1 with all 8 MB of Alt-RAM available, or switches over to PP's improved iTOS 1.04 for maximum software compatibility with games and demos from the era. iTOS 1.04 adds real FAT16 filesystem support, so it works much better with hard disks and mass storage, plus a few welcome extras on top of the classic TOS 1.04 behaviour. It's the best of both worlds: the modern conveniences of EmuTOS combined with the improved, authentic-feeling iTOS.
