About this auctionThe general wisdom in the Atari computer world is the 800XL is good for upgrades because the chips are socketed. Well I socketed all the main IC chips on the motherboard, so you can more easily install many popular upgrades like the Ultimate 1MB, VBXE card, or Sophia. As I write this, I am also selling all those upgrades - anyone buying both the Atari and the upgrade from me can request to have it installed and I will do it for free. What is upgraded The keyboard. Generally most people consider the XE Keyboard to have a 'mushy' feeling. The silicon rubber domes in the keyboard were upgraded with the silicon domes of a Logitech K120 keyboard, and thus, this keyboard does not feel mushy and has the tactile feedback similar to that of a K120, it is more pleasant to type on. The power supply. Included is a brand new 2.4A Power supply that will work with the XEGS. This is an upgrade to what would've been a 40 year old power supply with only 1.0A output. The extra power is perfect for those who need it for modern upgrades.
