At the last TRW swapmeet in So. Cal, I picked up a couple of Atari XE130's for $5
each.
The
seller said he had pulled them out of a school computer lab. No power supplies, but a
quick
trip to Ebay fixed that...
So I connect one of them to my TV, and flip on the power switch. The console LED turned
on,
and the TV screen went black. That's it. Uh-oh...
Well, we have another one to try. So I connect it, and it boots into Atari Basic. Much
better.
I did a quick hello-world type basic program. Welcome to the world of Atari.
So, is the other one fixable?
