Atario 800 Survival

The PCS center in lodi burnt down (It was a program i briefly went to). I had the IT team get a mint condition 800 to allow me to teach the students programming. Would it be salvageable? yes or no? It had all the cords and stuff too

(I started on BASIC it was always easy to start with and i was hoping to eventually leave with it and start my collection but alas :(

unless the computer was burned to a crisp

Agree... but can't stop thinking about the soldering, and the thermal expansion of everything under that kind of heat wave, even if not rendered extra-crisoy.

 

It would be very interesting to find out, pull it from rubble and attempt to fire-it up, in stages... ??

I had a melted 130XE that still worked... it survived a 3rd floor apartment fire, smelled like a camp fire whenever it warmed up. It was given to a friend who used it until he graduated college... don't know where the XE ended up after that... probably still making someone hungry for smores!
