Unseen and unknown in North America, the 800XE was sold in eastern Europe. The 800XE is identical in features to the European version of the 65XE, including the ECI port. The 800XE could also be described as a 64K version of the 130XE. Normally boots with Atari BASIC (Revision C) enabled; Hold down [Option] on startup to boot without BASIC. Jindrich Kubec writes, “The problematic Chinese 800XEs with GTIA problems were manufactured in 1992.” The 800XE was discontinued in 1992.
