I have an Atari 1040STe too, I was thinking of posting a similar post but never got around to it... I'd like to put some software on it so I can show it off... Anybody with ideas of how to do this?

Ok, I have a 720Kb MS-DOS format disk with sysinfo.zip and sysinfo.prg on it. The *.prg file seems to try to run, but then quits with TOS error #35. What's that all about? How do get this to work? I have the 1040STe with (I think) "rainbow" TOS 1.04, and the 720Kb floppy drive.

Just copy the files to a PC 720k disk and run them on the ST.  Enjoy!

Got it going... The SysInfo program you found works...

It also helps if you unzip the files before you put them on the 720Kb disk...

I got a couple games from here but you'll need a copy of MSA on your Atari to use them...
