AlanK Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 My love affair with the Atari 8-bit computer began in 1982. It was my introduction to home computers and programming, and I have loved every minute of it. Now the time has come for me to part with my 8-bit gear. I have a small collection of equipment and software I'm looking to pass on to a good home. One caveat -- Before packing it up, I successfully booted and have run the self-test routine on one 130XE machine; but since the disk drive is not operating, I have not operated the system otherwise in the past few years. That said, listed below are the items I am inviting offers for.

+wood_jl Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Just to try to better understand here: HARDWARE - Presumably good operating condition * Atari 130XE computer, complete w/power supply (C061982), TV adapter, manual (in orig. box) So this one you turned on and did the self test. HARDWARE - Unknown condition * Atari 130XE computer, w/power supply (C061982) only This one, you have the power supply, are trying to sell, but for some reason, did not test? HARDWARE - Not operating * Atari 65XE computer (no power supply) This one, you know to be non-functional, when you tried it with a 130XE power supply? Or you never tried it? If a power supply was sourced elsewhere, it would still be non-operating??? Pics would likely help you a lot. It's **extrememly** difficult to muster an offer on stuff without pics and testing for condition in very certain terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanK Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 Just to try to better understand here: HARDWARE - Presumably good operating condition * Atari 130XE computer, complete w/power supply (C061982), TV adapter, manual (in orig. box) So this one you turned on and did the self test. You are correct. HARDWARE - Unknown condition * Atari 130XE computer, w/power supply (C061982) only This one, you have the power supply, are trying to sell, but for some reason, did not test? You are correct. The truth is, I was able to test the sound and the keyboard, and they checked out OK. Then I was messing with a control in the back of my monitor, and I screwed something up and lost the picture; so I could NOT do the ROM and RAM test. HARDWARE - Not operating * Atari 65XE computer (no power supply) This one, you know to be non-functional, when you tried it with a 130XE power supply? Or you never tried it? If a power supply was sourced elsewhere, it would still be non-operating??? Something is fried in this machine; it does not work. I acquired it some time back with a box of stuff but had not checked into its condition until now. Pics would likely help you a lot. It's **extrememly** difficult to muster an offer on stuff without pics and testing for condition in very certain terms. I apologize for the shortage of info. and not including pictures. I would be happy to include some; the post seemed already so lengthy, I just decided to wait and see what people would want. If it's acceptable to upload them, I have pictures of all the hardware items at this point; and if you need to see pictures of software items too, let me know. - AlanK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
