That emulator is the closest thing to hardware. I've played with it a few times and am amazed at how much of the original feel and experience went into it. If I could get a real 800XL keyboard and connect that to USB, that would just take it another step toward immersion.
And yeah, that Trak drive was a recommendation from Brian. We were buying the 800XL from 20th Century and talked to him about also getting a printer and disk drive. Since I was going to be writing papers on it for school, the printer was going to be that Panasonic 24 pin. And to avoid spending on both a floppy and an 850, the Trak included the parallel port and printer buffer. That dude was cool, I wonder what ever happened to him.
