I only had a 400... but got the 810 disk drive, maxed it out to
65K of ram and added a B-Key keyboard..... as close to an 800 as
a 400 could get...

Of course now I have 2 Atari 400s, 2 Atari 800s, 2? Atari 800XLs...
still gotta get a 1200XL... and I'd love to have a coveted 1400XL
or 1450XLD :-) ... would dig an 815 dual drive....  of course
those latter three items are carved out of ultra rare Fuji Wood :-)
