John, I agree that 1702 are/were the go to Atari display ( along with the Amdek!) But I think for the sake of simplicity we’ll do LCDs. I should have plenty for the classroom, but I’ll be sure to ask if we are short. Thanks! On Fri, Dec 29, 2023 at 2:03 PM John Heritage <john.heritage@gmail.com> wrote:

All, Being that it’s the 45th anniversary of the release of the Atari computer and continuing the still popular 6502 theme, I will be doing an Atari classroom similar to the Apple classroom that was done two years ago.
I have a quantity of Atari computers that I am reconditioning in advance of the class, but I’m anticipating that I will be needing more working units of any of the Atari 8-bit family. My ask is that if anyone has machines to sell/lend/donate for this effort, it would be greatly appreciated.
As well, I welcome any teaching assistance from anyone who has experience with Atari BASIC and/or assembly language. The courses will be similar to the Apple classes with beginning and advanced BASIC/assembly and an overview of the system architecture.
Thank you, Dean
p.s. - Planned for next year is a CoCo classroom to give the 6809 some love, so I’ll be bugging everyone again at that time ;-)
