@John Polka wow.. dont think I have ever seen a six prong like that.. Seems to be 3 prong/3 prong for each part of the hardware… like a crazy power SIO cable
I’m late to the party but here‘s my current setup on a simple 6ft table. 1200XL is for BBSing because the keyboard is awesome to type on. The XE is for gaming since the video quality is slightly better. And the ST has a WiModem232 for BBSing and an UltraSatan loaded with games adapted to run from hard drive.
So here's my current setup... a U1MB 8ooXL with UAV and an APE connection to one of my PCs so I can test BBSes and other stuff on real hardware to the outside world. The monitor is a Commodore 1702 which I used to have a spare of until I sold it to The_Doctor. (I still have 3 Amdek Color-1 spares.) Note the "Disk Notcher" next to the Power Distribution module and various power modules under the wooden riser. (There used to be a 130xe under this riser behind the 8ooXL until I sold it last year.) I still have a few other CPUs. Note the Lotharek SIO Splitter on the right side of the picture.
Here the Boot Factory 2k+ BBS running on Altirra to the right of my 8ooXL setup.
Under the BBS laptop below its own riser is the box of carts containing various games, SIDEs, OSes Languages... etc. There's also a Fujinet and an ASPQT serial device (I forget what that one is called... I should probably sell it as it has never worked correctly.)
Next to the box o' carts is the box o' drives featuring the IDE2PLus device, an SDrive Max that looks like a miniature 1050 and an SIO2SD installed in the XM301 case. These three are my faves...
I use the IDE2Plus a lot! Currently ForemXE Pro v17.5 is running on it when I boot it from the 8ooXL.
Here is the latest iteration. You can see the little riser I put under the drives so I can run the cables straight back Instead of around the drives.
That's probably the single rarest ST specific monitor. I hope he can get it fully restored.
Paul W just got one of these. They are very rare and take an odd power supply. Anyone know where one can find the power supply or how to make it?
Some Goodies in the mail drop today.. Thanks Mike Mike Mike for your brokerage service
Nice! :)

Hmm, you need to have Archon and the Ultima game cartridges in with that bunch! :)
And a better pic of my carts.
