Parallel bus interface

Atari 600XL and Atari 800XL have parallel bus interface. It's said that they are not 100% compatible - 600XL has +5V lines, because 1064 memory expansion module needs power. Also, 1064 and 600XL housing are compatible, but 1064 can't be inserted in 800XL.

Most XE models have cartridge port at back and instead of PBI they have some lines in so called ECI.
