http://www.myoldcomputers.com/museum/comp/atari800.htm Click on the Main pic for a close up of the keyboard. If you get interested in this comp, DEFINITELY look around for a 130XE (I had 2 130XE's, and 800XL, and a customized 800XL). The 130XE is the "best" atari 8bit computer released (it came with a whole 128k of ram ;). I'm pretty sure the regular 800 didn't have any OS installed, but from the 600XL/800XL and beyond they all had an OS. Keep an eye out for Kaboom too, its a damn fun game and has sweet music (1812 overture ;)
