You're just showing the authentic Atari experience! ;)

It really was. I was surprised (as I mentioned) at how much improved the Atari
presence was this year.

There were 8bit Atari's all over the place. At one exhibit I bet the guy had over
20 for sale, ranging from 400's, 800's, and 800XL's, as well as 65XE and 130XE's.

There were also at least -3- Atari Falcons, Mega ST's and Mega STe's and even
a STacy! :)

Looks superb, always need more Atari 16/32 bit presence everywhere.

Here in UK too much Amiga for my liking . . . . . . :twisted:

There were a few Amiga's around...but not nearly as many as you
might think. I'm not sure I even saw an A1200? Have to admit, I
wasn't really looking either... Oh well... <shrugs>

:lol:

It was even surprisingly compatible with the Sidecart....which I hadn't tried at home because it "isn't expected to work on accelerated machines"....but it was flawless. I also ran more than a few demo's too.
Glad to hear it works in untested setups! I’m aware that some are using it on Atari TT and in highly customized configurations with accelerators, but as a general rule, I don’t sell it unless it’s been tested in my lab first. The same goes for the TOS emulator.

Thanks for sharing!
