Sometimes you see the option 8>16 MHz on the yellow screen.
But I forgot.
Which key do you press to select between the two?
Edit. Ah found it! "M".

Last post by Petari - 23-03-2024, 13:35:09Typical AA thread
People asks practically basic questions - well, often not well formulated, but level of answers is really pathetically low. First thing: driver - that will work only with images which are with partitions (filesystem), master boot record (MBR) compatible with them. Hddriver has it's demo, but it is practically useless - user can not do partitioning because no partitioning program. Whole demo is just to show how driver installer works. Or in other words: what I did is much more useful: I supplied images with driver - and image here means that it is with partitions, MBR . And with TOS/DOS compatible partitions. So, usable with Atari ST(E), TT, Falcon. And with modern computers - PC (Windows, Linux), Mac ... Or (again) in other words - you don't need emulator to access files, partitions on such image - they are accessible - need just USB reader - first write image to SD card (or CF card), then reinsert it, and will see partitions, files ...

Well, whole idea to start talk about diff-s between 2 machines from which one is launched in 1987 and other in 1989 is just bad - in those years development was strong. And everyone can look about it by checking main machine specs - how ? I'm not sure about it, but maybe, pardon MAYBE by using some search :-) Ah, but who am I ? Intelligent people will not use own brain, time, no - there are others to do it. And yes, WEB forums are made for it ! So, whole thread is just complete - yes, usual shallow blah - typical for AA (atariage).
My answer to question: for sure STE is better. Why ? Because all extra features of Mega ST are not relevant today. It was good for professionals in 1987++ , but really - how much people dealt professionally with Atari ST machines then ? Now ? I'm sure you know the answer.
