Any advice specific to starting up a TT030 that’s been idle for ~20 years? The only question with that system is, where is the monitor I used for it.
I think the TT030 should just go? The other easy thing about the TT030 is that it has a standard VGA connector. There is a special adapter that someone makes that allows it to do a much higher resoution ?ECL? output that is needed for running Unix on it. But for normal Atari stuff a VGA montior should do.
On mine, I ended up using a SD2SCSI as the original drive sounded like a chop saw. I don't remember a battery inside but we should probably check on that and caps.
Haven't done much with mine. I last used it with UNIX for the last VCF East, would like to setup a SD card with software that can take advantage of it's graphics and sound stuff.
