I'm not up on the Atari line - was there any major difference between the 520 
and 1040 besides the memory? I was pretty sure you weren't still mucking about 
with an 800XL.

Wait-a-minit. I still have (and fire up from time to time) a Commode Door 64 - 
no reason you wouldn't be fussing with a 400 or 800 machine.
