@sysop408 The original Atari 400 is this photo has the original working membrane keyboard in it. The yet unreleased THE400 Mini probably does not have a working keyboard in it, but apparently will work with an attached USB keyboard.

FujiNet for Commodore is a Thing! Lets see if I can't solder some wrong wires, poorly install the firmware, and accidentally plug it into an Atari 8-Bit 😄
