Lately, I've bem.en liquidating most of my hardware.
 
I'm buying the hardware I need to build a Hackintosh to run OSX and Windows apps.
I also bought two 8 bit Ataris (130XEs) to modify wth Hitachi 63B09E processors to run the NitosOS9 operating system.
 
If I could find a copy of  OS9 for the Atari ST I buy one of those.
 
BTW - Are there any accelerators for the original STs (like the 1040)?

I collect NES cartridges, Coca-Cola memorabilia and Wilton Cake Pans (I have 300+ pans, kinda got out of control there)

 
Oh, that reminds me, I collect Atari 7800 games too.
 
And as to the afore to mentioned Hitachi 6309Es, I have four.
One 63B09E and three 63C09Es.
 
I'm thinking of trying to build a simple 63C09E based SMP computer running at3.58 MHz.

The accelerator I was thinking about is the Fasttech Turbo16. Here's an old article on ST accelerators that compares it to a couple of others.

Cool. Now I just need to find one.
Since I want to use an alternate OS, I can't use later models in this lineup.
But an accelerated 1040ST would be ideal.

Thanks.
