Are these a straight fit into an STe or do they require changing of jumpers / resistors?
 
Dependant on current jumper settings you might have to change the jumpers.

Please review the image below as reference for jumper settings:-

I supply 32-pin 27C1001 EEPROMS, so please look at the relevant jumper settings for your motherboard in the image above.

I can burn any version and any language of TOS you require - so please let me know which version your require for your MEGA ST and I will burn for you - same price. For the MEGA ST, the latest version of TOS you can have is TOS v1.04:-

New CPX module for international localisation configuration. V4.04 was the last official Atari version of TOS.
  • 4.9x (4.92, 4.98) Never officially released, though prototypes were leaked and subsequently shared illegally.
TOS 4.92 was a version of MultiTOS, the Multitasking version of TOS, in a format (.img) which was designed to be written to a ROM chip. TOS 4 ROM contains five, user-selectable language versions.
