    I am curious. I've probably had 4 or 5 x working 1064 modules over the last 2 years recieved as part of 600xl bundles I've acquired. I sell them on for a reasonable amount because :

     

    1) upgrading the 600xl internally with 2 x ram chips and some wires costs absolute peanuts and takes 30mins to do. 

    2) the 1064 is very chunky and rather defeats the object of the slimline footprint of the 600xl. 

    3) it hangs off the back and any pcb plugins via the passthrough is considerably further back as a result. 

    4) once plugged in it's very hard to remove owing to the stubborn plastic retention clips. 

     

    I can't really see the point of it for these reasons. 

    Collection purposes, The same reason I don't need a dot matrix printer but I have a 1025 LOL. That said I would likely have it connected to a machine and working.

    Zaffin books are excellent, I have the two We Love Atari books as well as the Lynx and St books. I'll be picking up the Jaguar one later this year when it publishes too.
