Basic Built in

Matt,

 

Your close. Starting with the 600XL & 800XL forward Basic was built in.

 

The Atari 400 & 800 did not have built in basic. Originally the Atari 800 came packaged with Basic and a Basic Manual, this was later removed and sold seperately. With no cart you would go to the builtin Memo Pad... most thought it was useless, but I have to say, many times when no pen and paper were handy and I was on the phone with someone and needed to jot down some notes real quick, it was great to just turn on the 800 and have Memo Pad right there.

 

 

The Atari 1200XL did not have Built in Basic either, also Memo Pad was replaced with the Rainbow Fuji animation.

 

The Prototype Atari 600 (not 600XL) in the brown case also does not have built-in basic.

 

So with the 600/800XL's Built-in Basic was included.

 

The 65/130XE's also had it built in and the XEGS with the keyboard installed would come up with Basic (if no keyboard, then Missle Command)
