I never used an 800, but I have used a 400. It was wicked! It had an
aftermarket keyboard mounted on top so you didn't have to press those
gawd-awful membrane keys. Cheers!

The question was about the Atari Transputer Workstation 800, a 32 bit
Transputer graphics workstation. You're talking about the Atari 400, an
early 8 bit machine.

No need to worry. I liked the OS of the Atari 8 Bit machines (at least
they had one, compared to other vendors models) and the SIO.

You mix up Atari 400 with ATARI TRANSPUTER WORKSTATION (ATW):

I once created a memory resident 6502 assembler for those machines at
the age of about 16... oh my, how the time passed...
