Well, for those who remember, a couple of months back I got an XE GS for $2
but with no power supply, so I couldn't test it. Someone sent me some
very helpful information about it, but I lost all my mail in a HD incident
a month ago. I would love it if they could resend it :-)
Anyway, it powers up, now that I found a 130XE power supply to plug into
it, and it goes through all the self-tests 100%. I also found out how to
launch it into BASIC, but the problem was that it would not STOP going into
BASIC when I powered it off and on again, even if I didn't hold down any
buttons on the console! Also, I cannot seem to figure how to launch the
second? game that is supposed to be in it -- it comes up with either Missile
Command, the Self Test or BASIC. (I got it out of permanent BASIC mode by
disconnecting the power, but there's got to be an easier way. And where
can I find a GS keyboard?)
Anyway, suggestions appreciated. I have precious little experience with
Ataris, and even less with Ataris that work. >:-)
