  Atari PC1 is the only one that looks "Atari" the other just looks like any other pc compatible with an Atari logo glued on (surprised those were even engineered by Atari rather than just a cheap rebrand)

  I own an Atari PC3 and PC4LC. At that time IBM also already had AT machines, even 386 one's. Compared to the IBM XT class machines the PC3 was a much better deal value/money. 8mhz speed, mfm hdd, ega display, etc... in a much smaller and more modern case. My PC4LC (stands for low cost, also know as the ABC/30) was comparable with the standard ibm AT but again at a much smaller price. I changed the 8mhz cpu to a 12mhz one, making it almost as fast as a regular PC4. Although I enjoyed the PC3 for years and upgraded it to the max(vga, xtide, v20 cpu, umb card, sound card) I'm thinking about selling it and let someone else enjoy it.

  Thanks, another amazing video as usual. However, just my $0.02, I would recommend to adjust your lighting setting for the machine shots. The key light MUST be white, color should be used from behing the object for ambiance and define the edges, and/or the sides.

  Fantastic video mate!!! Incredible content. So much content - the time taken to research &amp; develop this must have taken ages. Now get back to real computers running TOS 😂<br>Happy new year 👍🏻

  16 or 20 mghz? meter gram hz? Mega Giga Hertz? MHz = Mega Hertz. SI prefixes are not hard.
