At CES 1987, Atari launched the IBM compatible PC1, quickly followed by the PC2, PC3, PC4 and - you guessed it - the PC5. Bringing the company back from the brink in true Tramiel style, these rare machines are unique and interesting takes on the original IBM formula and highly rare and collectable today. So let's learn about an important slice of retro computing history and restore an original Atari PC3, with matching keyboard and original monochrome monitor!
Big thanks to null for additional footage of the PC1 - and also big thanks to the wonderful null for your amazing voice acting talents.
