I recently fell into possession of an Atari 400. I know nothing about this machine. Could someone give me the basic details of the machine (processor and such). Thanks, Paul Tletski, Highland Hts., Ohio

Could someone give me the basic details of the machine (processor and >such). 16KB, 6502 main processor, ANTIC graphics display processor. Max. resolution 320x192 with 2 from 128 colors. Several other but lower resolutions available. Works with TV set only. Computer is 1979 vintage, but still one of the best micros. The 1.77 MHz clock rate is shared 2:1 by the processors. I hope you got the BASIC cart as well or the machine will be useless. As this was my first computer, I'll gladly supply more and even detailed tech info if you mail me.

Uses the same 1.7 MHz 6502 CPU. There have been memory expansion kits for the 400. There are reported sightings of even a 1Mb 400 out there. But the 48k is the most common. There are also keyboard kits to replace the membrane keyboard. All Atari 8 bit hardware works. WIth the exception of memory, the 400 and 800 a functionally the same computer. -- the good guys!
