ATARI 130 XE

1985 The new Atari Corp. delivered on its promise to advance the 8-bit Atari system by replacing the 800XL/600XL with the new 130XE and 65XE in 1985. The 65XE is nearly identical to the 800XL in features, minus the PBI. The 130XE, however, offers 128K RAM, plus the FREDDY chip, supporting the unique (but rarely used) ability for the 6502C and the ANTIC to independently access RAM banks.  In 
addition, the 130XE replaces the PBI port with the Enhanced Cartridge 
Interface (ECI), continuing the powerful feature of direct memory access.
