New video! I ditched the (still dysfunctional) 320k RAM expansion in my #Atari65XE and upgraded it to an #Atari130XE with 128k RAM instead.

Successfully converted the #Atari65XE to an #Atari130XE. The (getting more unobtainable by the minute) original Atari EMMU is implemented with a 16V8 GAL, a 74LS95B got added and capacitors and 4164 RAM were populated in the unpopulated footprints. Easy. #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #Atari
