ctrl-alt-rees | Atari 260ST Pickup (With Extras!) - eBay Bargain Or Box Of Junk? @ctrlaltrees | Uploaded February 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Edit: There's now an update video telling the story behind the 260ST and exploring that original boot process: youtu.be/SLmC5jWXTP8
So I bought a 260ST untested from an eBay seller in Germany... But what's the 260 all about, does it even work, and what's all this about extras that the seller didn't even mention!?
