For those who like to tinker/tweak existing hardware.


Benjamin J. Heckendorn's latest project: Atari 800 XE Laptop 

Using an Atari XE GS (Game System) the last model Atari 800
type computer from 1987. 

8" TFT active matrix display 

Compact Flash "hard disk drive" utilizing MyDOS 4.53 for
maximum drive size of 16 megabytes. Card is removable for
swapping. 

Built-in NiMH battery pack and charger (uses external plug like
a normal laptop) Also battery is removable from base as with
most laptops. 

Full (Atari 800) sized keyboard 

Built-in Player 1 & 2 controls, plus joystick ports. Built-in
joypads great for playing Robotron 2084! bullet 

Brushed aluminum and wood grain everywhere! A weird combo
style, sure, but I like it! bullet 

Cursor control knob - Allows you to move the cursor around the
screen without pressing control+arrow keys. That's awesome if
you're an old-school Atari programmer "from the day" bullet 

Slim (compared to an original SIO port) DB25 printer-style port
for connecting to disk drives, printers or PC's using an SIO2PC
cable. 

Other projects: 

1) NES Micro (approximately the size of one controller!) 

2) Neo Geo MVS Console System 

3) Neo Geo MVS - Portable System
