Ok I finally acquired Atari 520STFM. Here's few things I need info on.

How can I upgrade RAM? If I'm not mistaken all the games will work with 1MB so that should be enough because it will be only used for playing games. Where can I get the RAM upgrade most cheaply. Also if eg. 4MB memory expansion is cheaper I'd like to have one of those.

Another thing is monitor cable. I'd like to connect it through that instead of RF. What kind of signals does Monitor connector give? Composite, RGB Scart, S-Video? Where can I purchase these kind of cables.

I also need a mouse. Where to get one? It doesn't have to be authentic Atari mouse just as long it's good.

And lastly which is the cheapest way to transfer stuff to disks? I have old PC with floppy drive and some 720kB disks I used with Amiga. I also have Amiga. Does it support writing Atari ST disks?

Another way to transfer disks is probably serial port?

I'm especially interested in games and want that all of the would work. So looking for a good configuration for the machine. I'll be using discs for oldskool kicks. :)

How about harddisks are the games runnable there? Any other stuff I should take into consideration?

Phew... Lots of questions from a Atari newbie. :)
