- The 5200 was basically an Atari 400 computer with 48K and no keyboard.
- The PIO and sound chips were a little different, as I remember.
- Sams used to publish a repair guide for the 400; perhaps you can
- locate one of those as a starting point.
-
- Many of the 5200 games were ultimately dumped to disk by pirates, and
- modified to run on the 400/800/65XE/130XE computers.
