Never ask an Atari Stacy owner how to open one, they’ll warn you not to. These machines are notoriously difficult to work on, with no keyed connectors, a jumble of wires, and fragile plastic everywhere. Despite the challenges, the Stacy was Atari’s first portable system in the ST line, featuring a backlit monochrome LCD, a keyboard, and a trackball instead of a mouse. The system faced delays and never quite lived up to expectations, with battery failures and limited capabilities. However, for those looking for a portable Atari ST system, the Stacy was the best option available. This detailed account takes us through the treacherous journey of refurbishing a Stacy, highlighting the unique challenges and quirks of this machine.
