There are 2 empty sockets on the Mste mobo, I know that one is for a math co-pro, and I guess that the other is for a blitter. The problem with STE games, is that they usually assume that the blitter is present.
It may be worth finding a spare blitter, and seeing if some more STE games work.
BTW, the falcon has a different (better) type of Yamaha PSG, but I think it is backward compatible. I havent got a clue if DMA sound sampling is present, though I guess that it is the same as the STE. (why would atari omit it, the falc was supposed to be the STfm/E replacement???).
>"if you still have not found informations about STE specifications (how to test the platform model, how to use (Mega)STE hardware scroll, how to use the STE joystick ports, how to set the frequency CPU clock and the cache on Mega STE, how to use the STE sound) I wil be able to help you on that way."
I think I can find this on the net (for STE anyway). I am lacking Falcon and MSte info. I downloaded the doitf030 and doitst archives, but they are passworded, and in German. (I dont know which is harder to crack, passworded zipfiles, or the German language! ;)
