Since I am overflowing with Atari home computers and am trying to free up some space in my small house, I am parting with one of my prized possessions, my professionally modified Atari 800XL. The computer is in excellent condition. I actually posted a very large picture of it over at AA a few days ago:

It has APE Warp OS installed. Hold "select" while powering on and you are greeted with a screen of 31 different OS's....XEGS, 400, 800, 1200...etc etc. What does this mean to you? Well, some cartridges and disks will not work on a standard 800XL but will on the old 800, and vice versa. With this mod, you can make this computer an 800, or 400, or XE Game system on the fly. This allows this computer to play ANY of the games out there. If you are a cart collector and are looking for a one computer alternative (as opposed to hooking up a bunch of computers at once!) this is for YOU.
More on the APE Warp OS upgrade can be found here:

System comes with power supply and TV switchbox. Again, it looks and functions perfectly. $100 firm. The APE Warp chip professionally installed alone is $79, so this is a fair deal. This price also includes shipping/delivery confirmation anywhere inside of the USA. Paypal preferred. PM me if you want it!
EDIT: Just added some carts. You can take the unit for the $100, OR for $125 shipped, I will include a Suncom Tac-2 Joystick and the following cartridges:
Missile Command
Galaxian
Robotron 2084
Asteroids
Pole Position
Computer War
Defender
Qix
Frogger
I am making an attempt to NOT use ebay, as I would rather sell outside of it honestly. It would probably sell for more, but I really do not feel like paying listing fees and/or worrying about non-payers....but if it does not sell here in two or so days, well off it will go. Again, PM if interested!!
