No it's not normal at all I must have pickedup 20 atari computers and have
had no dead ones. They are generally pretty reliable hardware, the floppy
drives however are another matter, they need to be speed calibrated often.

I have a weird problem with Atari 8-bit stuff...
I have a 1020 printer, an 850 interface, and a 400 computer, and two 9v
AC power supplies. Nothing works with any of them... The 1020 and its
powersupply were new in the box (shrinkwrapped and all)
Is this a common problem?
