If the Atari 5200 is really a 400 without a keyboard....

Internally, the 400 has a few custom chips for graphics, sound,
etc. One of these chips also implements the serial I/O bus. So,
if you want to change a 5200 into a 400, you would need to add
all the serial I/O hardware as well as a keyboard.

And there's always the matter of software ...

If anyone turns a 5200 into a smart graphics system tho', I've
always wanted a little bit of color next to my terminal.
