Gamemaster_ca_2003 Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 take a look what do you think any ideas what it could be. http://www.atarihq.com/museum/miscatari/mirai.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 It would help if they showed a bigger picture... you can't really see any detail from that. A better description would be good too... like what are all the buttons labelled? (Or are they even labelled?) What kind of ports are on the back? They're probably right about it being a Panther prototype... or at least an extremely early mock-up before the Panther name was decided on. This page gives some details on the more recent Panther design, and it looks like it has a rather large cartridge port too. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt Vendel Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 The Atari 9000 was the original initial final model# of the Atari PRO System before marketing settled on the Atari 7800. Those boxes were test mockups for the new 7800 Prosystem before the naming and model # were finalized. Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Having seen the mockup, my best guess was that it was an XEGS-like version of the Atari ST, but that's a total guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
