Modified 800XL, want it?

[highendsystems]

The Modified 800XL was purchased from an Antic or

Analog advertisement in 1985?. It’s a 256K upgrade with Snitch

Switch, which could either be a 130XE with 128K, or an 800XL

with 2 single density Ramdisk

It “sorta’” worked that you could dump a single sided

single density disk into Ramdisk and run it!

This only worked with High-Tec Expressions

software, despite trying most available commercial

games. Right now the unit doesn’t display (Antic problem?).

 

From the pics, I can’t help but wonder why the tech ran out

of regular electrical tape....

 

It comes with a special Translator, Snitchy Switch, and Utility

diskettes. 1 working XEGS console both w/ No Power Supply.

The XEGS has a price tag = $99.89 reduced to $89.89.

Tons of Misc. Software - I will assure the rarest and most

treasured! @ least 20 double sided enhanced density disks

packed with goodies! 1050 drive not included though

recommended. Working XEGS could be used as spare

parts for the 800XL. Two misc type working joysticks.

 

Your choice of @ least one of the following commercial titles –>

 

Aliants

Alternate Reality Dungeon

Auto Dual

Bismarck

Eidolen

Forbidden Forest

Ultima III

Warship

*more to be listed later*

 

Anyway, I would like at least a Benjamin Franklin. Think it’s

worth a shot on ebay?

 

Here are some inside pics of the 800XL.

 

Thanks for looking!

What a strange memory upgrade. I looks like pins are connected at the wrong side of the PIA.

 

At least on not so common pins... I guess...

EDIT:

 

Ah I see it now... it is due to the sticker on it... on the last picture I saw the pins go further to the normal side of the pia.
