I bought the requisite switchbox about 13 years ago, and finally today found and ordered a clean looking SM124 paper-white monochrome CRT monitor for the Atari 520ST, from eBay. (Shipping in original box with original foam, so it seems possible it will survive the trip across the U.S.) (Knock on wood)

It looks like there's JUST enough room atop this A520 STation to fit them both, if I move the HxX2001 into one of the (disconnected) drives' spots in the stand.

I had both an SC1224 and an SM124 on my original 520ST setup back in 1987.

Will post some pics when it's all setup.

Turning to the #mastodonHiveMind. #HelpMeFind the name of an #mp3player I had back in the late 90s (maybe early 00s?).

I've looked through pages of image search results. Poured through eBay. Toured the #vintageTech & #portableSound articles & forums.

I mocked up what I remember. Device was this rounded, pear-ish shape. That soft matte black plastic. Screen on the top. Had buttons on the top edges. I think there was an SD slot at the bottom. Maybe buttons on front below screen?

Any insight?

🛩️ Ah yes, the #nostalgia of pixelated clouds and virtual turbulence, brought to you by an #Atari aficionado who only just discovered this groundbreaking '80s masterpiece on Facebook Marketplace. 🎮 In true retro fashion, let's celebrate the tech equivalent of a floppy disk—because nothing screams cutting-edge like a game that’s been 'kept alive' by #Microsoft. 👾
