boxpressed Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Here's a pretty good BIN on an Atari 1200. It includes a cartridge that says Computrac 4000-8000 on the label. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 270930837826 AA's got nothing on Computrac, so I did a little poking around and found this: http://theoldcatvequipmentmuseum.org/220/221/CJR/04_November-1983.pdf Look on the second page. I think this cart went with a satellite TV hookup. I'd snap this up myself but just can't go down this road of A8 esoterica. I hope someone here will buy it and tell us more about it.

Tempest Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Neat! That's actually a good deal for a 1200XL as well. I'd buy this if I wasn't slowing down on my collecting. Also $100 for a useless utility cart is a bit much for me right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labrat Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Also $100 for a useless utility cart is a bit much for me right now. This goes for me as well, still its a cool find. I hope we'll hear from the person who bought it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpressed Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 The seller relisted the cart separately -- for more than the original auction that also included an Atari 1200! eBay Auction -- Item Number: 270931690990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Duh...what? It didn't sell? They must have been reading AA, or someone tipped them off. I'd hovered over the BIN about hour before the auction ended, then decided to wait and think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krypton85 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thats strange, the thing sold, he said everything in the pictures was included, and then he relisted the cartridge only. a***a is gonna be pissed (the bidder) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtrappomegranate Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 As the buyer from the original listing, I was somwhat disturbed when the second one appeared. However, the seller assures me that he had *two* of those carts. I guess that we'll see soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatNJ Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Guess it is exact same cart Pic is the same one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtrappomegranate Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 It's definitely the same pic - seller says that cart pictured in the 1200XL cart port is not the same one that's shown individually. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtrappomegranate Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 The seller was telling the truth. 1200XL and cart arrived well-packaged and intact. The cart works, too, although it needs the associated interface and robotic arm to do anything useful. A dump will be added to Atarimania soon.

Ransom Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 It's very good to know that the seller was being truthful! I'm glad you got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
