| I have available (disposing for a friend) an Atari 1040ST(FM) computer with
| a Atari SM124 B/W ~11" monitor, carrying case for both, and owner's manual.

I must resist.  I already have half a dozen.

I will offer the taker a game to play with it too (free).  It requires
a colour monitor.  I don't remember if all 140ST(FM) computers had the
RF modulator to work with an analogue TV set.

The game is "Borodino".

I think that it is complete and unused.

| There may also be another 1040 and two more monitors available - I haven't
| got a firm answer on that yet.

The mono monitors were great for "serious" work.  That's what I first
bought.  But for games, the colour monitors were very important.

At least a couple of others on the list used STs back in their day.

There was a Linux port, but only to later STs -- ones with MMUs.  That
would be the TT and the Falcon.  Neither of those sold very well.  If
anyone is disposing of a Falcon, I'd take it.
