I've gone through 25 pages of topics in here and I haven't found any threads pertaining to anyone trying to use a JeST adapter on a 7800 in order to use Playstation controllers. I didn't discover this adapter until a couple of nights ago on the web. It appears it does work with the 7800. Here's the link:

I thought there had been some discussions on using ZIP drives with [Mega] STEs, TTs, and Falcons but I'm coming up with a dead end using the search feature here.

Is it possible to use an Iomega ZIP100 [Plus] SCSI external drive with, say, the Falcon? Wouldn't it simply need a driver and/or something like ICD's software? I just picked up one for $10 at a local surplus store last night because I was afraid my old external parallel port version probably wouldn't work...

I'm getting an itch to dig out my Falcon and upgrade it with a Motorola 68882 math co-processor after all of these years. Prior to my conversion to PC in 96 [which I later switched to Macs], I had my Falcon upgraded to 14MB of RAM but I never added the co-processor.

What's the consensus...is it worth it? Unless I'm mistaken, Cubase can use the co-processor, as can Mark Williams C and some DTP programs. But do any games [whether for STe or Falcon] actually use it?

I'm a little alarmed at some of the descriptions from some eBay sellers trying to sell these chips based upon their worth in gold. What a bunch of heathens. Just out of general principle, that makes me want to buy one to keep at least one of them out of a goldbug's hands. Maybe all of us with capable systems [whether Ataris, Amigas, and pre- OS X Macs] should do that...

But anyway... What other STs without upgrade boards can use such co-processors?

If I'm not mistaken, the MegaST has a slot for a 68881 [not sure if a 68882 will work even though it is the same pin configuration]. The same goes for a MegaSTe. [And the TT comes standard with a co-processor]. But what about the 520STe and the 1040STe? And if they do, can they also use a 68882 or simply a 68881?

I'm actually tempted to try to find an STe out there since they tend to be a bit more backwards compatible than the Falcon. I also retrieved my old 1040ST but it'll need a replacement keyboard and all the upgrades require additional boards.

As for the users on here that also use Amigas, can any of the Amigas [besides the 2000] simply pop in a 68882? I was reading up on the specs for the 600 and the 1200 but couldn't find any info on whether they have sockets or if an upgrade board is required...

Thanks in advance for any info...
