Just got an atari 800 word processor binder

The binder included six intructional lessons to opporate the word processor. Also included is a word processor reference manual. There is also 3 floppy disks I think one floppy disk is missing because there is 4 pouches. Also there is a word processor audio cassete.

I paid about $2 for it so I think I got a good deal. Is this binder worth a lot more than this? If not I will probably just dump the lesson plans and the reference manual in the garbage and use this as a school binder for college(still a good deal) :D

can you scan the folder or take a pic???

 

He's talking about the old Atari Word Processor that preceeded AtariWriter (It was designed for the 800, and supposedly has a problem with XL/XE models). It came in a big binder with full cover artwork. I've seen it for sale somewhere recently, but can't find it now.

Ah the Atari Wordprocessor and the Atari Accountant, two very high quality packaged software packages, this was early on when Atari was actually gearing the machines seriously, then marketing decided to push the game aspect over the applications aspect and the computer line then became viewed as overpriced video game consoles :-(

bryede do you know what the asking price was?

Curt do you know if this is rare or not?

Also for those who might be interested the binder says its model cx404

the three disks are

2 program master disks cx8119

1 training data disk cx8120

there is an audio master cassette cx4122

also it looks like the disks are all there the fourth pocket is just an additional pocket.

thanks curt and bryede for the information you have provided so far

I looked all over google nothing, yahoo nothing, this website nothing.

so the information provided so far has been greatly appreciated.

They are uncommon, but are easy enough to find, B&C may still have som for sale. The harder to find packages are:

 

Atari Calculator

The Atari Accountant

General Business Manager

 

 

The last two are in the large Atari WP binder package

Hi Curt,

 

Never heard about the General Business Manager. Do you know the product code?

BTW, do you happen to have a master list of all Atari 8-bit product codes. I have been trying to collect them all, but some are tricky to track down.

 

Thanks!
