This was the next to last iteration of the Atari 2600. Commonly called "Vader" because of the black front panel replacing the woodgrain on the earlier models.

An ebay-purchase in quite good condition. Consistent yellowing of course. But a good base for a Gotek floppy-emulator. ;-)

Second Gotek testing, with LCD and rotary-selector. Works like a charme! ;-)

The Anniversary for the Atari ST. Today the Atari was presented at the CES fair in 1985. The beginning of a new era.

Gotek Display in case.

The fun you can have with Alphabetti spaghetti!

This is the all black version (no long rainbow stripe), I hear only sold in Ireland, so how I got one in Nottingham I don't know.

Final Gotek-Installation with LCD-Display, rotary-selector, mini USB-stick.

Think I will try to put the display directly into the ST-case. Let's see...

Made in 1980...almost 30 years old!

I decided to got my old Atari ST out of the loft when I was back home, to play the good old games and listen to the music I composed on this baby. Don't let the 520 badge (as in 520kB) fool you, this beast has a whopping **4MB** of ram!!!

Could do with a clean though.

The Atari 7800 gamepad. This beauty was apparently never released in North America, but was reportedly the default pack-in controller for the UK and Australia. It’s not the best gamepad ever (The buttons are a tad sticky, and those grooves are just pain weird), but if the alternative is the Pain-Line joystick, you’re not going to complain. If you have an Atari 7800 and don’t want to get Carpal Tunnel from playing Ninja Golf, then you need to track down one of these gamepads.
