## Goal

Work on the Atari with the real feeling. But be independent of the
place in the living room.

## The idea

Two epiphanies: there is an Atari 800XL power cord to be fed with USB
on the other side. Power bank anyone? And there are video grabbers to
provide captured video as USB device readable by VLC. The rest is
history. Display on a Raspi. Put everything into a mobile suitcase.

## Challenges

USB power support is fragile when fed from a power bank. Every
additional USB hub or cable makes it worse. 3 devices (Atari, Raspi,
7-inch display), ideally on only 2 power banks.

## Where's the punk?

If this is cyber then where is the punk, I hear you ask.

My grandfather was a carpenter grandmaster. When he tried to teach me
when I was 10 he quickly gave up - I was not qualified in his
eyes. Carving the plate from wood anyway 40 years later instead of
modern 3d possibilities - that's my punk.
