[comp.sys.atari.8bit] is my atari 800 useless?

jsd@boreal.rice.edu (Shawn Joel Dube) (11/09/90)

I have an old Atari 800 (yes, its still working).
I remember someone, a while back, talking about using
it as a printer buffer.  Does anyone else out there
have any neat ideas as to what to use it for?

Find something to use the machine as an embedded controller.

Ideas: (not all original)
	- lights, appliances, etc.
	- model railroads
	- see the article on a portable planetarium in Atari Explorer

Others?
