  1. Looks like a sears arcade II. A pacman without label since no lab loaner label ( would give it credibility ). The pilot thing is the only think I don't know what it is but there's enough everything else to question if its a real proto item.

  2. Ive got mine listed for 65.00 + shipping. I did that on another board last time i had a spare and it flew. Ebay gets alot of crazy bidders at times. I try to make a little while finding homes for my spares. If i got a ST i really dont know what I would do with it. Craigslist had a ST complete boxed with monitor for 50.00 but was a local pick up outta my area. A deal like that might be the only way id consider buying one. 8 Bit computers are just easier for me to handle move use and enjoy, I think anything with a cartridge is worth a look.

     

    my 5200 is a console only and i dont recall if it works. I bought and kept a good quality control on what i bought years ago and this being the last of the extras / non 8 bit I have to think it would work with the proper stuff for it.


  3. The 8 bit series was both a computer and a PC ( Well they could dial up modem, print documents, be a word processor with AtariWriter. Have cart programs that do designs and art. Disk drives to save your work. And you can play games on cartridges, 5.25 floppy disks, or you can use the keyboard to type line by line programs. In a way it was the first cartridge PC. I personally like this area of Atari, cause its less followed and holds more interest in my eyes.


  4. XEGS is more available I see than the 1200. I missed out on a 130XE but i hope to land another one cheap. The 65XE 130XE and XEGS all use the same power adapter from what ive been reading. Which is a good thing.

     

    The 65XE is a nice compact system compared to the others. I can see why however why they changed the XEGS to a detachable keyboard to make it more mobile.

     

    I Need to find a nice 800, 130XE and a 600XL and ill be good.
