Title: Just bought and Atari 800 XL
Post by: MechaGregor_ on November 02, 2015, 12:48:07 pm
Hey guys , just got a nice lot on eBay. Got an Atari 800XL computer with joystick a few game carts and a 1050 floppy drive with all the wires and connectors. http://www.ebay.com/itm/272034071671?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT (http://www.ebay.com/itm/272034071671?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT)

A few things..

1. Anybody have any old programs on floppy they want to sell?

2. Anybody still playing around with these and know how to go about copying games from a modern PC to a 5.25.

3. Any thoughts about the machine

Just figured it would be cool to talk about. Currently rewatching John's videos on the topic right now.
