This is a "feeler", I will definitely be selling these items - but would
like to get an idea of what I can get - if you like these prices, send me
e-mail and odds good that are you will get them!

 - Mega 4 ST.  1.5 year old Mega 2 with 2 additional megs of 80ns RAM
               memory *professionally* soldered onto the motherboard
               into Atari pre-drilled holes.  (All the RAM chips are
               80ns, I've seen some Mega systems with as high as 150ns
               chips in them!)  Very quiet floppy drive. In outstanding
               condition, TOS 1.4 professionally installed.

               $899


 - ToadFile 44Meg SyQuest Removable hard drive.

               Custom manufactured by the boys at Toad Computers.  In an
               ICD-Style case which fits perfectly and quite attractively
               under the Mega 4 CPU.  The case holds one SyQuest 44meg
               removable drive and has plenty of room for another front-
               access drive bay for a 5.25" floppy, 3.5" floppy, or another
               SyQuest mech. The power supply in the case will handle the
               extra drive with lots of power to spare. Also note that the
               case has two ports on the back for easy daisy-chaining of
               peripherals like an Atari laser or SuperCharger.  Includes
               three pre-formatted SyQuest 44Meg cartridges.  This drive
               is used as my main hard drive with simply outstanding results.
               The drive actually ran faster than my old Seagate 157N and
               the real beauty was the ease with with I could switch from
               ST mode, to Mac emulation, to PC emulation - all it took was
               changing the cartridge!

               $725, including all 3 cartridges,
                    (the carts run $90-120 EACH if purchased seperately!)


 - Spectre GCR  The premiere MacIntosh emulator which not only runs
                98%+ of all Mac software, but also directly reads
                and writes Mac disks.  Includes the now very-hard-to-find
                MacIntosh 128K ROM chip set and 10 blank disks.  All
                documentation and every Gadgets by Small newsletter is
                included in this package.

                $375


 - Atari SM124 mono monitor

                In excellent condition, seen 1.5 years worth of use
                without any complaint.  Includes the Atari monitor swivel
                base attachment.

                $125, $99 if purchased with Mega 4.


 - Atari SC-1224 color monitor

                Also in excellent condition, seen almost no use since
                SM-124 was purchased.  Very early Atari model which has
                a far sharper picture than the newer Atari color monitors.

                $199, $125 if purchased with Mega 4.


>>> Whoever purchases the Mega 4 may also buy BOTH monitors for $175.


 - Epson LQ-850 24 pin dot-matrix printer

                In excellent consition and seen very light use, used
                exclusively as a backup printer (read> sat in its
                original box) after purchase of Atari laser.  Includes
                two extra ribbons.  Fast and quiet operation.

                $389


 - Puriden Power and Phone Line Surge Suppressor and Line Conditioner
 
                This is a flat pizza-box style power base and surge supressor
                the fits perfectly under the hard drive (so in my setup, from
                bottom to top I have this power base which is about 1.5 inches
                high, the ToadFile hard drive, the Mega 4 CPU, and the mono
                monitor on top. This is a very high quality and all metal power
                base that has a Master switch and seven individual switches for
                the computer and up to six peripherals. It also has phone jacks
                that prevent phone line surges from damaging your modem.

                $75


 - Master 3D 3.5" external floppy drive
 
                Rated the best by STart magazine.  Very small design and housed
 
                in an all metal case barely larger than the drive mech itself! 
                Will read and write out to track 84 without complaint and is th
e 
                quietest floppy drive I've ever heard.
 
                $99

If someone wants a superior and totally read-to-run ST power system, the packag
e
price is $2,299 and will include a ton of software, blank disks and literally
hundreds of dollars worth of other accessories including joysticks, printer
stands, blank disks, a pile of commerical games and application software, PD
software, magazines, and any and every thing else I have lying around that has
to do with the ST that I've gathered in the past four years.

I will even pay UPS shipping anywhere to the lower 48 states.
