Setting up my Atari 130XE
8-bit is back on the menu!
When my son came home from college last summer, the 130XE that I had set up in his room got disconnected and moved around, sitting unused for months. That needed to change!
I have my own small office here at our house, which is where I work from home. Being small, it doesn’t have a lot of room for multiple computer sets. I am able to have my primary Mac setup and a second desk that is set up with Windows and Linux PCs, along with my Atari Mega STE. It’s all a little tight, but it works.
Unfortunately there is just no way I can also fit the 130XE in here. My wife uses a spare bedroom as her office and since it has much more room, I was able to convince her to let me set up the 130XE there.
I’ve now got it set up in its new home, so let’s take a look!
Everything is tucked away in a corner near a window on the same desk I was using before. Here is the desk with everything siting on it, but nothing hooked up yet.
