Hello from France - Mik

Post by msplines »

As a new person this is a quick post to say 'Ello ! (That's yer aktual French).
I started in about 1990 with an ex-Post Office mega ST with an external hard drive and a laser printer,, bought for a song and intended for midi music creation with Notator and then Cubase.
I soon found out all the other stuff that could be done and bought an Epson inkjet and started a lifetime of crippling debt with System Solutions in London buying loads of gear, ST, STE and two TTs amongst a heap of drives, screens (liyama) etc etc. and finally a Falcon which I still have, but haven't used for five years, so I guess the battery is U/S, we shall see........ This is in a 19" rack with two hard drives and a CD writer and an SMTPE generator.
All the other stuff was sold as a job lot to a French club near Lille at a knock down price as it all went to a good home.

Ello Ello and :welcomewave: to the group.

Nice photos of your Atari equipment there. You do really need to fire up that Falcon and give it a run :)

I bet that Falcon rack case would look amazing with a big 1970's silver-faced amplifier on top.
