800xl with keyboard coming!

Take my money!

Word of warning about preordering the THE 800XL off Atari’s website. The “Buy now pay later” line is apparently just for show

I know I shouldn’t be preordering crap, but again I was acting under the assumption I would be charged until it shipped.

Cool idea or abomination?

I was digging in the closet looking for something and ran across an intact XF551 sans the disk mech, but I have a spare original Mitsumi mech. I also have an old Teac 3.5/5.25 dual mech.

Should I...

A: Restore it to stock in all its beige glory?

B: Build a unique dual mech contraption?

I already have a functioning stock original 5.25" and a 3.5" unit I modded years ago.

No XFs will be harmed in this endeavor either way. 😁
