Released in 1985 as a replacement for the 600XL, the 65XE is the low-end version of the 130XE. The 65XE is nearly identical to the 800XL in features, minus the PBI. Many European (PAL) 65XE’s include the ECI port, but no North American (NTSC) 65XE’s include the ECI port. All XE computers also include the FREDDIE memory management chip. Normally boots with Atari BASIC (Revision C) enabled; Hold down [Option] on startup to boot without BASIC. The 65XE was discontinued in 1992.
