I'm not up on the Atari line - was there any major difference between the
520 and 1040 besides the memory? I was pretty sure you weren't still
mucking about with an 800XL.

Wait-a-minit. I still have (and fire up from time to time) a Commode Door
64 - no reason you wouldn't be fussing with a 400 or 800 machine.
