Notes:

Continuing the tradition of using Atari components in their PC line up, the Atari PC3 utilises the Atari STM1 Mouse (relabeled as PCM1) via an Atari mouse port conveniently located on the side of the case with the standard XT keyboard port. It also featured an Atari external floppy drive port on the rear.

Being an XT era machine, upgrades are fairly limited with just the allowance for an 8087 coprocessor to be installed in the provided socket. CPU upgrades are not possible without removing (desoldering) the 8088 processor and replacing it with a NEC V20 which will give you a slight performance increase.
