I saw working models (prototypes?) of both a 1400XL and a 1400XLD at the
1984 Summer Consumer Electronic Show.  That was the megabuck display just
before WB sold Atari.  The Expansion Box was also there as I recall but I
wasn't really interested.  The 1600XL was just a dream and never made 
prototype stage as far as I know.  At least one of the 1400XLD and an
expansion box was put to good use.  It is the basis for the official Atari
bulletin board according to an article I read (maybe in the Atari Explorer).
Obviously, I don't have any of these for sale but I enjoy learning more
about the history of Atari and thought you might also.
