Never owned one of these in my life but I remember using them at school.

Both are in working condition.

Model 1 - Ireland built 1990

8MB RAM 40MB HD

Ethernet PDS Card

Could have more RAM but I think that MODE32 is not installed.

Light screen burn-in

Model 2 - USA Built 1988

8MB RAM No Detected Hard Drive

Some Odd card that has a port similar to a old PC Keyboard Port

Cost? 52 loose and 8 boxed Atari 2600 games (ones I wanted to get rid of).

Cool !!

Well both work except for the bad HD in one. The CRT with burn-in is only noticeable when it is off, otherwise you don't see it.

I hope to make 2 good ones as I have a spare HD to put into the one without. I have never opened one of these so I will have to look for a tutorial on it (as soon as I find a long enough Torx 15 screwdriver).

Is quite easy anyway, the first thing is to get that screwdriver.

remove the 4 screws (2 short at the bottom and two long in the handle area, if i can remember 2 are black and two yellow)

A special tool was officially required to open the case (some kind of expander) ...never needed one.

I used to leave the screws half removed and to flip the SE (screen facing the ground) the rear case will come loose.

If the HD has been removed already, this will be fairly easy.

let us know.

The DIN5 port is probably for MIDI interfacing.
