[Coco] Liber809

[Boisy G. Pitre]

The 130XE I have certainly looks "the best" in terms of sleekness and board design of all the Atari's I've personally seen (with the exception of the XEGS).

The Liber809 fits in the 130XE quite nicely.  It fits in the 800XL rather tightly *IF* I solder both the CPU and the 16v8 directly on to the motherboard, and don't use a supporting 40 pin machine socket underneath.  It also requires me to solder the electrolytic capacitor underneath the board.  This is the tightest fit I've seen in the Atari's that I have access to.


Best Regards,
