Blast from the Atari Past

**gbrown** · 07-12-2005

I was doing a Google search on some old PLATO folks and came accross THIS LINK by an old PLATO geek. Lots of thoughts on some "new" hardware. One of the things that amused me was the 15MB hard drive for the amazing low price of $400. Not counting inflation, and counting current rebates that $400 could have bought you ten 160GB drives at Best Buy last week. Neat.

the Motorola 68000 microprocessor, a fast and efficient chip, and clock it at 8.0 MHz, which is really fast

Hee! Andale, Andale, Arriba, Arriba, EEEhaaa!!

Thanks Gary, that was fun. I used to have an Atari 520 ST, and later a 1040 ST and both monitors. I was never able to afford the hard drive. The article forgot to mention that the ST came with MIDI plugs.

Fun times!

I really love this quote from the article:
