Over two years ago a lady posted in a newsgroup that she was giving away her old Atari computer for free. So I e-mailed her and we corresponded a few times, but eventually she flaked out. A couple of weeks ago she e-mails out of the blue and say she still has it. I paid for shipping and got it a few days ago. It's an Atari 800XL with an Indus floppy drive, a tape drive, two Atari 2600 roller controllers, and tons of disks. It also had some printers which I think I'll throw away.
Most of it seems to work well, but I'm having trouble loading many games from disk. I've tried transformer on these games without luck. I've also tried holding down the option key on boot, and combinations of option key + transformer without any luck. Anyone have an idea how to get it working?
Separate from this deal I went to a flea and picked up a few common Atari computer carts. One of them was blue without a label. I put it in the Atari and it turns out to be Fischer Price Logic Levels. I'm aware that there is a Colecovision version of this game, but was an Atari computer version released? I wasn't able to locate it on the Internet or the DP guide.
