Home computer, 1985, Atari. The 130XE is the 128 KB version of the XE series. The extra 64 KB are accessed by bank switching through the PIA chip, and can be used as a RAM disk by DOS 2.5 or by software written to exploit it. Apart from memory and the presence of the ECI expansion connector it is identical to the 65XE, and both keep full compatibility with the earlier 400/800 and XL software.
