    Thanks Hans,

    As many have said over the years, this is a super easy install.  I had no issues.  Also as others have said, it's glorious to see after all these decades.  Thanks to Matt and Hans for supporting this ancient computer

    Clarification

    Good day '99ers.  I believe it was 1981 but may have been '82.  Prior to Christmas, whichever year that was, my father was asking me if I would rather get a 16K RAM upgrade for my current ZX81, or TRS 80 CoCo, or TI-99/4A.  Atari 8 bits I guess were too expensive so not on our list of possibilities.  Well, gee whiz, real keyboard, color, many sound channels, 16K RAM built-in, it was a no-brainer.  I must admit I really loved the quality look of the black keyboard and silver case, it reminded me of a televideo terminal.  Also my Mom's boss had a TI-99/4 (no 'A') and I got to play Blackjack/Poker on it.  After that, 1st up was XB, then later a cassette drive and the glorious Tunnels of Doom, and finally a speech synthesizer.  I programmed a simple word processor and a Pitfall-like game in XB.  Went into the US Navy, and that TI unit was lost to the past somewhere in time to me.  My next computer 2 years later was an Apple IIC which is another story for a different day...I have a TI with PEB and finalgrom setup on my desk and it brings back many joyful memories.

    Count me in.  I fall into the retired category.  Missed out on Atari 8 bits, went the ZX81 then TI-99 path in '81 and jumped to Apple II. So now I am istening and learning about an Atari 800 I picked up on Ebay a couple months ago.  1st up was to finally play star raiders without a bunch of other kids trying to push their way to play at the stores - Glorious, glorius, glorious game.  Did i say Glorious? Installed an incognito from Adam; the capabilities are boggling my mind.  The community here is very nice and knowledgable.  One last item to mention I suppose, to my sensibilties, the 1200xl is very stylish, but the 800 is my favorite if only because of the older aesthetics.
