jaysmith2000 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Everyone, A while back I acquired some items from an ex-Atari employee. In the lot were 2 Atari 800's. One had a funky label on the front, but other than that they just appeared to be standard 800's. However, today I noticed while digging through my attic that they have an Atari marking on the bottom of the case, numbering each unit. I've attached pics. I'm curious if anyone has ever seen these before and know anything more about them than the fact they came out of Atari HQ's? Thanks for the help.

Clint Thompson Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Wondering, have you plugged either of these up yet to see if they do anything different from the normal 800s? I wonder if the internals are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Looks like asset marks to me. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the internals are different. I have with one of 'em Clint and didn't notice anything different. One did have a 128k RAM card in it, switchable. Can't remember the brand, but can double check if there's interest here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bripilot Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I agree with Mitch... they look like Asset Tags... Perhaps before the days of nearly non-removable stickers, they actually branded the equipment with tag numbers to track them. I've seen it before on older gear...
