Atari 800XL - First look and some testing. https://video.thepolarbear.co.uk/videos/watch/184bc34e-3989-48ce-b2e7-cff3664bed66 I really loved my final 8-bit computer and I consider it to be the best "off the shelf" 8-bit there was. The Atari 800XL was the best selling model of Atari 8-bit computers and rightly so. It is one of the "go-to" models for vintage computing enthusiasts as it is one of the more reliable and upgrade-able models Atari produced. This is not my original unfortunately but one I acquired at a decent price from ebay. It was tested and sold as working but without cables, PSU, software etc. This video is me rigging up power successfully but failing to get video because of lack of resources and a broken LCD projector. I also talk about possible modifications and what I plan to do to get software loaded.

Speaking as a C64 owner back in the day, the 800XL is a *lovely* looking computer in comparison.
