General

The Atari is ready for anyone who wants to play with it! There's a little box with floppies (soon to be back upped) with utilities. Hopefully we can find some more programs for this nifty little machine.

Cubase

Currently we are mostly figuring out how Cubase 2.0 works. Probably you'll soon hear the sweet sounds of the YM synth fill up our space. Manual @ http://www.mediafire.com/?qgtyzttu0wj

RCA audio out

In order to route the nice Atari sounds into an amplifier or recording equipment it would be nice to have a dedicated connector. It should be really easy according to this

Memory upgrade

In similar models 4MB is possible using 30 pins SIMM modules, but it seems that the 1040STf is nog one of them :(.

Finding out how much RAM is in the machine with sysinfo

Format a floppy

Put floppy in the Atari
Select floppy (A) with single click
Go to _File_ -> _Format_
Click _OK_
Choose _Double Sided_
Enter a label (Optional)
Click on _FORMAT_

Writing the files

Put floppy in a pc and mount it
Unzip this file onto the floppy
Unmount floppy

Run sysinfo

Put the floppy back in the Atari
Double click on the floppy icon
Double click on _SYSINFO.APP_
Go to _Hardware_ -> _Memory_
