Getting an Atari ST on the information super highway with NetUSbee 

Glad you liked it :-)

Your very welcome. I think it's a great piece of kit, even if, just for the UIP tool.

I will just add up that it is great if you need to backup data fast from HDD, it supports USB sticks, USB keyboards, USB mouse and even USB printers with PCL support. But I recommend more power hungry gear to be routed via a powered USB hub, the cartridge port on ST is not buffered, so if you overload it... Kaboom. Mouse and Keyboard is working in GEM conform apps, so if something is hammering the mouse and keyboard registers directly, it will not work (for example DynaCADD).

@@madigorfkgoogle9349 Yeah, the power budget for the cartridge port isn't very high. A powered hub is the way to go

Glad you like it. Working on part two as I type

Very true. I remember coding on a PC-XT, two 5.25 inch disk drives, no hard disk and an early version of DOS. I guess it was CGA? Though all it ever displayed for me was text!

It's a cheap but good reply to a PC user who says our machines are old lol, "well yours is older" ;-)@@commodoreisnottheonlyfruit

Adam, but does it run on plain 1040ste with 4mb?

@@atari1040 Yes it should. Requires NVDI.

Hi Adam. Do you have a link for Highwire All I found were dead links when looking for it (mind you didn'\t try too hard)

I'm glad you like the content. I looked at the exxos booster but it looked like it needed multiple sets of upgrades to the motherboard (replacing cpa adding filtering stuff etc, so It scared me off), or was that the total final ever ST upgrade guide? Was it an easy upgrade? THe overlay files came of one of the forums, they're not commercial, but I cant remember the forum. I've stuck a link below to a copy of the one I used. If you can or can't access it let me know. Some times YT snaffles such things. PS: Is the exxos PSU a refurbished one, or is it a modern one like a meanwell? www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/eprxf988ys8pqsmcuflcw/CABOVL.1.48.zip?rlkey=vny876y0ur3elqr9gnqtly8p2&dl=1

@@commodoreisnottheonlyfruit Hi David, many thanks for the overlay file downloaded fine. If i get some time this weekend will try it out i need to redo my SD cards for ulta satan as mainly i have been experimenting with different setups and now need to write a definitive one. The PSU is the exxos one and is very high quality would recommend it, although a i did struggle a little soldering in the new power lead that connect to the motherbaord. The booster while looking a little daunting was quite easy really, i had to swap 74S257 for 74F257 as that cause problems, other than that it was soldering up a single wire and a couple of switches for the fast TOS switcher and the booster. I took my time and did it over a couple of nights but you could easily do it in hour if you have all the pieces and a bit of patience. It seems very good although i have had the odd stability issue but i would say worth it.

@@commodoreisnottheonlyfruit if you are interested in the accelerator ive got round to running some benchmarks today, after getting speedogdos and nvdi installed and the results are pretty good, VDI Text 1048%,VDI TextEffects 1024%, Integer division 355% to name a few

I think Stick was not multitasking aware, but Sting says it's a requirement. I do have MagicNet lying around, I might try it an see is there's an ease of installation / speed difference.

It was easy enough to get working, i just ignored all the guides I saw as most of them were for using PPP and getting online via a proxy PC.

@@commodoreisnottheonlyfruit btw have you tried starting for example speedball 2 on the sidecart to the point you could play it or xenon II? It seems to multi disk games don’t load here. Also the menu system is very “Spanish”. You start arkanoid and you don’t get arkanoid you start xenon (1) you get fire blaster. It really is rather shotty.

Yes I did. Here are a few key dates, from some of those billions of web sites Some key dates: 1991: The World wide web, started by Sir Tim in 1989 and made public in 1991. 1983: The internet forms as TCP/IP proliferates. That's why 1st of Jan 1983 is used as the Birthday of the internet. 1982: TCP/IP, foundation of the internet was standardized Pre '83 it was ARPANET and DARPANET, not the internet.

Yeah stuffed it up :-) I think it's because we always called it "three one one" at work, not three eleven.
