Atari XE GS

In today's thrift store trek, I came up with a Wico trackball for my
C128 and one of those cute little Apple //c mini monochrome composite
monitors which in the ultimate irony will go to the 121-colour Commodore
Plus/4, which has been sharing a Commodore 1902 with two 128s.

The other thing I found was an Atari XE GS with no power supply or
peripherals. Since it was only $2, I picked it up. Aside from being
dusty, it looks to be in good shape, so I'm going to try to clean it
up. Can anyone tell me about them? How unusual are they? What is the
pinout on the power supply (it's an 8-pin DIN)?

>From the looks of it, it seems to be a 65XE in a case with no keyboard
and just the regular Atari function keys (OPTION, etc.). I've heard
of them but never actually seen one, and I don't know too much about
the Atari 8-bits to start with. I assume it takes 5200 and regular
Atari 400/800/1200/etc. cartridges and the usual Atari/Commodore joysticks.
I'm also interested to know how uncommon they are.

Thanks for any help!
