In 1986, a new version of the 2600 was released (although it was planned for release two years earlier). The new redesigned version of the 2600, unofficially referred to as the 2600 Jr., featured a smaller cost-reduced form factor with a modernized Atari 7800-like appearance.

One of my hobbies is collecting retro-computers, focusing on computers made by Atari. I have currently have eleven different Atari-models, three from Commodore and one other model in my collection.
Atari's 8 bit computer were never really famous in Sweden. As far as I can recall the first time I really heard about Atari and their home computer was probably in 1988 or something, and then it was the Atari ST.
I've might have spotted an 8bit Atari at a computer party around that time, but I never saw one close up or played around with one until the end of 2011, when I got this one from a Swedish auction-site.
This is the Atari 600 XL, a 6502 based 8bit computer from the early eighties with Swedish characters. Unfortunately the keyboard is broken on this one, the circuit board got a crack in it and several of the switches for the keys are broken and would need repairing. Apart from that it seems to work OK, I got it with a cartridge game and that one runs nicely on it.
This one is now sold as I was lucky to get an 800 XL for free. It will have a new life with a new keyboard.
The MPF 1P (MicroProfessor 1 Plus), is an improved version of the MPF 1. Like its brother, it is a learning tool for use in the teaching of microprocessor, microelectronics, and control technology.

Macintosh IIsi (M0360) with Macintosh Color Display (M1212), AppleDesign Keyboard (M2980) and MacAlly mouse. Installed System 7.1.
This system uses the Intel N80186 CPU and has 1Mb of RAM. Sadly, currently has no hard disk, so I have to boot from 720k floppy.

The Atari XEGS was released in 1987 and is basically an Atari 65XE with detachable keyboard. The main purpose was as a gaming console being able to Atari XL/XE-games.
I got this one mainly because the keyboard of the 600XL was broken and I was a bit curious on Ataris 8-bit computers.
Burroughs TD700 Self-Scan early gas plasma display screen and keyboard, Design Level 4 c1973. The keyboard is partially working, I suspect a logic issue on the bottom two rows.
The "£" symbol above the letter "E" and the small "Shift Lock" & "Tab" keys in place of a large "Tab" key mark this as a UK "data preparation" variant.

L'8 luglio 2015 è stato presentato ufficialmente a Highgate, Londra, la nuova console di videogiochi ZX Vega. Basato sull'architettura del Sinclair ZX Spectrum, il Vega è sviluppato e prodotto dalla Retro Computers Ltd (www.zxvega.co.uk), un'azienda fondata da Clive Sinclair, Chris Smith, David Levy e Paul Andrews ed è stato finanziato attraverso una campagna su Indiegogo che ha raccolto circa 150.000 sterline, il 50% in più del traguardo inizialmente fissato. Io sono stato invitato all'evento, unico italiano presente, in quanto nella dotazione iniziale di 1.000 giochi compare anche il mio Cousin Horace, uscito nell'ottobre 2014 (per saperne di più: www.alessandrogrussu.it/diario-2014-10-01.html).
Nella foto: questa immagine ravvicinata dà un'idea delle dimensioni e dell'ergonomia del Vega.

I was invited, the only one from Italy, because my Cousin Horace, released in October 2014, has been included in the initial set of 1,000 games coming with the console (more on this can be found at: www.alessandrogrussu.it/diario-2014-10-01.html).
