@hurt138 those SuperCPU units pop up on eBay from time to time, and tend to go for about $2000 or so. It's pretty much an entire new computer that plugs into a C64. They're rare and kinda interesting but they're also not what I'm looking for from a retrocomputing experience.
Totally envious of the Atari collection though - never had any myself, I was definitely in the Team Commodore camp, but they were really neat machines.
