As far as i know, he Lightning ST is still avail. If you have an account at forum.atari-home.de , you can write gaga a pm about it. Dont blame me if i'm wrong but i think it was around 100 bucks
Thanks for the info. I think I will be using an external interface after all because the 4mb upgrade unfortunately doesn't leave any space around the 68000 due to being right next to the MMU on my board.
Do you need some kind of hdd or would work a gotek too?
I installed a Gotek at first but found it awkward to select from a large collection of images. I think it will be more convenient to use a hard drive to run games and it is sometimes useful to have a real floppy drive available when I need it.
