Are you on about those things from poland?
Absolutely fabulous those. Dont have one, but certainly would not hesitate to buy one if I had no HD on an ST.
Only issue I have with them is that they take up the cart port and AFAIK, there is no through port... That is the biggest issue I have with them myself.
4MB to 14MB?
My old ST had the Marpet +8 which gave my ST a massive 12MB and as for a desktopper, this is somethign that I still wont say no to!
I can say though, that I am using a QWERTYX adapter, and there are others out there, and this allows me to use an AT Keyboard and a Serial Mouse ( Although I feel that PS/2 keyboard and mouse is better ) and the Qwertyx is bloody fussy as hell and I have had dozens of serial mice tried and failed to work and the same with keyboards.
However...
I use it on my Falcon ( My TT has had anew Keyboard now, so thats funky )
My old MegaST I re-housed in a standard PC Desktopcase and I loved it, the Flacon I will be rehousing very soon as thats a CT63 and CTPCI on its way, with multiple HDs and CDs and I am just going to build a Wooden one for it, to also take the Falcons case as this will avoid the need for me to re-wire the back sockets etc...
Erm, I have a 2U rackmount case for the ST going spare if that eill help you? - I kind of got it for the falcon but I gave up on the idea as I would really need 2 of them to house the Falcon and all its gubbins, or at least a 3 or 4U... Its perfect for the Stock Falcon or ST, but not if you need a PC PSU, and the Extra Ct63 hardware its not.
