An Introduction to the Atari ST... Wait... What?

What's going on here? An Atari ST on my channel? Blasphemy! I just got a new Atari 1040ST last month, as I just wanted to see what the fuss was about 35 years ago... This week I am going over the hardware of the ST, and talking about how we can get it to display on modern monitors. I promise to be polite and not pick on the Atari ST too much in this limited run series of "10 Minute Atari Retro Cast" Interested in picking up an Atari 1040ST for yourself? www.thebrewingacademy.com Interested helping me out on Patreon? www.patreon.com/10marc Please check out Amiga Art Contest 2020 www.amigaartwork.com Follow Pete on Twitter @recta_pete Follow me on Twitter @10marc1

Episode 67 - Video Toaster Adventures Part 1

This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am starting on my NewTek Video Toaster Tutorial series. We learn a bit about the Video Toasters history and how to set it up, and play with some fun effects and dabble in Toasterpaint and the Character Generator. I am recording this to OBS this week so I can simultaneously display the Preview and Main Video Toaster screens, as well as a view of the Video Toaster main screen. My Capture card is causing a second or two delay on the main screen. I will try to find a way around that for the next video.
