Hi all,

Good news today I receive my new MFP and it's working, except the keyboard, but the Atari is running, with working disque drive and semi working hard drive.
I have to wash the keyboard and reassemble the mousse to make more test.
I will give you more news later, thank's to all for the support.

There is two MC6850P (ACIA) that you can swap with each other. One is handling the MIDI communication and the other is handling the keyboard. Clean with IPA. Reseat in socket (if it is in socket).

Hi all,

Some news about my STf reborn, I have repair all the key (working and not working) with Loctite MR3863, FDD is working, Megafile 30 is working I have updated the driver to 6.061.

The last things I have to do is repair the SM124, the light and contrast is very low, if you know what it can be it will be great.

Thank's to your help, regards.

How many hours has the SM124 been running? CRTs get dimmer with age as the cathode degrades.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.
