Nice setup! I had heard about the capability of running MacOS on an Atari MEGA ST back in the day but had never seen it until this video. Very cool, thanks TJ!
Great .. set up ...I miss my Minix port with my Atari St .. i was able to learn unix ssell programming back then . I also had the Aladin emulator and a PC emulator ,where i learned Turbo Pascal and Turbo C ..And there was a OS9 a realtime OS.Boy the Atari monochrome monitor was really great
I remember those Samsung SC1224s had a lower loudness than the other models. I already forgot how loud those hard drives were back then. That Megafile sounded like a tornado! I loved those Eurodemos that usually had some techno music blasting while it was playing. I hated the puny bass coming out of the monitor speaker, so I was complaining to my local Atari dealer about that (yes, I was lucky to have one!) and he suggested a Monitor Master just to connect my MegaST4 up to my ghetto blaster. I didn't have two monitors, but I bought it anyway. Wow! It sounded so much clearer and louder. It was fun cranking up the bass.
I wished I had that same type of setup, a Mega ST(e) with both color & monochrome monitors and a Mac emulator so I can keep using HyperCard from my high school days well into college (early 90's). But I made due with just a 1040STe and a color monitor which got me through my courses. I only needed an 80 column display for word processing & online communications as well as game playing, and since ST's can read DOS formatted disks straight off I started using the PC's in the computer labs instead of the horrible Performas there. I agree that the Atari ST was a "grown up" computer that's still fun to use...
Sweet setup! Those old Macintosh manuals look just like my old Apple IIe manuals, hahaha. What a coincidence that just the other day a guy on Level 29 BBS linked to some photos of Macintosh System 3.2 running on his Atari ST. He was using a product called Aladin, which I suppose was a German product similar to that Spectre GCR of yours... I think he had a cracked version, though, so he didn't need the hardware bit with the Macintosh ROMs.
Hey, the Aladdin was an older 64k model, pre Spectre. It went Aladdin, then Gadgets by Small came out with the Spectre 128 and then the GCR model that let you read and write Mac floppies. The GCR was the last in the line.
Stupid me gave away the SC1224 monitor to the trash collector back in 2004 because already migrated to a Windows PC. Thinking about it, I shouldn't have done that! Now regretted fully.
lovely setup do you know about the dragon 32?? i typed a word processing package in machine code into it but got the save address wrong ?? can u help thanks also grand prix on the dragon 32 do u know where i can find it online as a basic type in listing?? thanks bless you lots ……….
Way back in 1990 or so a guy at my work modded my Atari 520 st to boot up as a mac running system 6. I recently got the 520 at out of the closet and opened it up and the only mod it has is the piggy back 1mb ram upgrade. I remember I had helped him do the mod and we had wire wrapped this costing circuit board onto an IDE drive so this external drive mod must have been all the magic to make it into a Mac. I assume it had apple roms on it but i do t remember any details. I remembered it plugged into the back of the ST. I wish I could find it. Any ideas how it might have worked? I pretty much positive it booted directly up as a max and it wasn’t an emulator.
Had to be an external cartridge like Aladin or MagicSac or Spectre. There was Basilisk in those days which was software only but I don't recall that worked back then on 68000 Atari, but maybe it did. I know Basilisk II supposed to be out now and works on 68020 or faster cpu, I think.
@@MacSociety all I remember is it was a customized hard drive with wire wrapped hookup wire all over a board and when plugged into the Atari ST it booted directly up into max os. No emulator splash screen or menus are anything like that. Just got the Mac smiley face and then booted up. It had talking moose and some other software installed…
yep many thanks im looking for a grand prix BASIC listing for the Dragon 32?? from 1983?? from a book? ive been looking since 1993 when i gave the whole setup of the Dragon 32 to a charity shop - please help if u can thanks........... also do u know about the Dragon 32 word processor i typed in?? from a magazine ? Dragon User september 1985?? i cant get the save addresses perfectly right ! this is why when i run it, it shows a different error on the real Dragon and a different error on the emulator xroar................... also, do u know how to pause a game running on a Dragon 64?? on a real 64 or emulator xroar???????????? thanks......................
u wont believe this but i got upto the 18 or 19th level of Donkey King on the Dragon 64 yep.........!!!!!!....... using xroar emulator but also the real thing too !!!! using joysticks on the Dragon 64 thanks..................

I never did connect external audio to the monitor master in the day. I need to try one day!

Gah, I remember PC-Ditto.. the pc emulator... it was so slow! It was interesting though.
I never had the PC Ditto for Atari but yeh, apparently was slow.
@@MacSociety Norton speed index clocked it 20% the speed of an XT.
