Im attempting to do an atari 8 bit laptop hand held system for when I go to work. Like with all good ideas I went to ebay to see if there was any forsale and came up empty. Second step was to do a little research to see if anyone has done it before and how it looked and if they sell them. Ben Heck did one and would do it but would run in the area of 3 to 5000. While I know this would take alot of time effort and such to make 5000 is out of my price range. However looking at his pictures on how he did it , I feel its possible maybe I can tackle this project with a little help ( or alot in some areas).
Anywho Im starting to try to aquire some items now another Atari XEGS an Atari 800 right off the bat. Im thinking what to do with the hard drive situation, do I want to do that or a flash drive or memory card instead ( since all 3 would hold alot of data ).
The challange is figuring out all the wires when I move the controllers cart slot reprogramming chips and adding speakers screen and the memory device. Since Ive never done any of this before this should be a very hard task to say the least.
Has anyone attempted any of these things on any other systems that can give any friendly advice?
