In Topic: Pac-man Update for Atari 8-bit

If Pac-Man had been the game included with the 5200 it probably would have sold a lot better.

Pac-Man did become the pack-in when they changed from 4-port to 2-port systems.

Oh thank you for that! Good to hear! Was there something that required it?

According to Curt's atarimuseum.com site, the expansion port was included by Warner Atari (pre Tramiel) with the intention of (maybe) eventually adding support for laser disc games.

FWIW, the upcoming 7800XM module does not require an early 7800 with the expansion port. I mention this because, in the video, you seem to lament that you don't have that port when you allude to the 7800XM.

We Atari 5200 fans don't take kindly to folks referring to it as a "5600". ;-)

so now that I have the BOM, does anyone know where I can get a schematic (and how accurate it is)? only a cheapass like me would try to wirewrap this...

you all probably think I am joking, but you will be laughing your asses off when you see the front and back side of a working wire wrapped 1450xl...

Can't wait to see the case mods you make to accommodate a wire wrapped board ;-).
