Hello, in the german ATARI-home.de forum a member has posted details about a mistery ATARI ABC 286 PC. Normally ATARI ABC-286 is well known, but this one is special, I have never seen this one before, also the known websites only show the normal ones (http://www.ataripc.net/ , http://www.atari-computermuseum.de/abc386.htm ). The interesting things are:
1. It is using the ATARI PC 4 chassis. ABC 286 chassis usually looks different, see http://www.atari-computermuseum.de/pics/scans/ABC28630_1089.pdf
2. Special mainboard "ATARI PC4LC", LC = Low Cost?
3. Instead of PC4 without connector for external floppy drive and without connector for the ATARI (ST) busmouse.
4. It has exactly 640 kB of ram, using 2x 64 KB and 2x 256 kB SIPP modules
5. EGA 9 pin video connector, but usually available DIP switches for EGA card mode selection not installed
