Hi all.
I recently picked up a Atari 520 STFM and just confused about how i can hook this up to a modern lcd monitor?
also what is the difference between models 520 1040?

I would definitely join the AtariAge forums and ask in the Atari ST area. Probably one of the most active forums out there for Atari ST computer enthusiasts.

STFM models have RF and Atari monitor outputs. You can't connect directly to a LCD monitor. The easiest way is to get a Atari monitor out to SCART cable and connect it to LCD TV/CRT TV/Amiga CRT monitors SCART input.

520 / 1040 usually only mean 512KB or 1024KB of memory.
