Arthur Brown Company: They advertise (in START) several unusual products that many on this group asked about and that seem to be hard to find. FYI I post them here. I am NOT affiliated with E. Arthur Brown, not even as a customer (yet). Cat # Price + S&H Description 127-403 39.95 + 3.95 Cable to connect a standard IBM-PC 5.25" drive to an Atari ST. Formatting software included. 127-400 19.95 + 1.95 Cable to connect a standard composite (color or monochrome) monitor to the ST (for low or med rez). 127-402 49.95 + 3.95 "ST Video Box" - lets one see all 3 video resolutions on either the Atari mono or the Atari color monitor (how the ^@%#&^ do they DO that?!?). 251-400 39.95 + 3.95 "ST invisible clock" - mounts inside the keyboard, includes NiCad batteries. If anybody has USED any of these products please let us know what they're like. In particular I'd like to know: the picture quality with the composite cable, and whether the 5" drive connection is reliable (is the buffer chip built into the cable?). (Does the 5" drive need its own power supply?) Here is their address: E. Arthur Brown Company 3404 Pawnee Dr., Alexandria, MN 56308 (612) 762-8847, 763-6393 (S&H has a $6.95 cap for any one order) (Again: I am not affiliated, etc.) - Moshe Braner
