The date is 1986 and is labeled SITS, i think for SITSA so i gess i got an original one.

Look again, it's not SITS but SIST. INT., probably an abbreviation of something involving "systems" and "internal" or "international".

 

Hm. Atarimiania has Multificha released by GRUPO SITSA:

That's something different - a Spanish hack (methinks unlicenced) of MPP's MicroFiler v1.1.

Interesting. Label says "Fabricado en México por Sistemas Inteligentes, s.a. de c.v.", which translates to "Made in Mexico by Sistemas Inteligentes, s.a. de c.v.".

I doubt those XEs were made in Mexico, I am pretty sure those were made in Taiwan, like the ones sold here in Chile.

 

Michael...do you have a picture from the top of that XE?

Regards,

Not that one specifically, but others with the same bottom side labeling are unremarkable when viewed from the top. Standard NTSC 65XE case (no ECI).

 

I believe 65XE units made in Mexico by Sistemas Inteligentes are from 1985-1987.

 

Other "Made in Mexico" units have different underside labeling, which I believe indicates they were made by Atari (México) Fabricante, S.A. de C.V., which we know was established in 1987 (Atari SEC filings).

 

Later still, 65XE units for Mexico appear to have been imported from Atari "U.S." Corp. by Atari de México, S.A. de C.V. (stickers on some 65XE boxes), so I believe those indeed would have been from Taiwan.

 

I think that Grupo SITSA and Sistemas Inteligentes were sister companies operating at the same location, which were both acquired by Atari in 1987, creating Atari de México, S.A. de C.V. and Atari (México) Fabricante, S.A. de C.V., which both continued to operate at that same location.

 

Evidence is sparse, but this scenario would account for everything I've seen so far.
