AtariLab

My kid has a science fair next month at his school and I thought it might be sort of interesting if I could find him the old AtariLab kit. I've checked B&C and Best as well as ebay to no avail.

 

Does anyone have one to sell or know of any place that may still have one for sale?

 

Thanks!

B&C ComputerVisions sells them, brand new. That's where I got my AtariLab light module and temperature kit. They're listed on their 8-Bit Computer Cartridge Software page:

 

ATC046   ATARILAB LIGHT MODULE			 $14.95
ATC045   ATARILAB STARTER W/TEMP		   $14.95

 

Silly me, i looked under the hardware section.

 

 

I ended up calling Brad at Best and he had them in stock as well. I ordered them. I'll let you know how the science fair goes :)

Yes, B&C and Best E. stock both Atarilab sets. I bought my light module from B&C through an E-bay auction and the starter set was a private E-bay auction. But the $15 price is reasonable to buy direct from B&C or Best. Though B&C charges $8 flat rate for shipping and though Best E. will ship priority mail for half the price, they have a $20 minimum order. I love messing with the AtariLab sets and it's very easy to use the interface and program it for your own plug-in devices. Lots of possibilities. The manuals are very useful and informative with ideas and sample type-in programs. I'm thinking of writing a simple Oscilliscope/digital multimeter display program using the AtariLab interface. The point also being that it's a perfect device for science projects using the Atari computer. The starter set could indeed be a useful platform for your son to do a science project. the computer could control and outside project connected through the interface(computer used as a remote control). For example, I remember years ago I read somehwere about a man who was using his Atari computer with the AtariLab interface to run his HO scale model train set(which was huge and complicated).

I'm surprised, B&C should have more, I used to see them ebay'ing them weekly and not always selling, you called Brad at Best and Bruce and Cathy over at B&C just to check, they MUST have some?
