VERY VERY VERY NICE!
/me wants it

I'm thinking of Getting a Old Computer (like Atari 800) and Making It portable, Sounds easy for me, since im a Computer Freak.

EDIT: Im going to see, if i Can pick up a Atari 400, and I'll be the first person ever to make a Atari 400p.

Don't even try, it has too many component's. The later 8-bit Atari's combined everything to a single board. Besides, the later ones had more features.

Ben, I love you for this!

Hmmm.... I will try, if I can Get one.

Hotdog-Cart seriously Abbibi is right. They have more ram, more power and are smaller. Just look at the size of the 400 (the weakest of Atari's computers) to the XE models.

I hope Ben, you include details about the Compactflash drive. I know its different from the one on Mr-Atari's site so any info you can give abou that would be cool.
