Atari 65XE computer set

The Atari 65XE computer of 1985 is one of nine 8-bit Atari microcomputer models manufactured in 1979-1987 as part of the XL and XE series. The Atari 65XE is a computer equipped with 64kB of RAM, 24kB of ROM memory, and a MOS 6502C CPU. It was manufactured in four versions, differing in the motherboard used. In the Atari 65XE, in line with the design standards of the 1980s, the main components are enclosed in a housing that also contains a four-row keyboard with a space bar in a separate line. To make the device work it was necessary to use the ports at the back to connect a monitor (or TV), a storage device (cassette tape recorder, a floppy disk drive, or a cartridge reader), and peripherals such as joysticks. The latter were based on the hand controller mechanism developed by Louis Blériot in 1909. Manufacturer: Atari Corporation Inv.
