fibrewire Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Just received these in the mail: 5x Atari Cartridge Binders w/Pac-Man & Qix Everything is in like-new condition. I guess they bundled these carts with the binders when they were originally sold. Anybody need 5 copies of Qix or Pac-Man?? It was YOU that got the binders! I was looking to add a few more binders to my collection... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wood_jl Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Ok, catch-up post, since the NIB 600XL. I opened the 600XL, verified it worked. Now need monitor kit and 64K (or more) upgrade! I like to take it out of the box and suck up the volatile organic compounds into my beak; I love the "smell of electronics" and if it's from a new Atari computer....particularly in 2012......all the better! Put that puppy back in the plastic and styrofoam, and preserve that delightful smell!!!!! Ok, now, on to what junk I've acquired, since then.....annotated! It is my intention to try out all 3 of the graphics pads.....Koala Pad, Atari Touch Tablet (have already but never tried), and Suncom Animation Station! Not exactly Atari, but just an example to those of you who are considering the *expensive* "USB" mouse adapter for Atari ST and Amiga....that you can get MINT compatible mice for cheap. (I seriously suggest this model, and not experimenting.) OK. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, and you're right. I totally overspent on this. I don't even know what I'm going to do with it. However, after spending $329.99 for one of these at retail in 1984 and wanting one but finding many pieces of shit on Ebay, I saw this "Buy It Now" and made an impulse buy, and wasn't sure I made a good move, but this REALLY is the genuine article, still wrapped, although the outer cardboard sleeve is gone. The drive really appears genuinely shrinkwrapped, with warranty card on top and the cardboard dividers (for storing floppies in the plastic case) wrapped. What the hell am I going to do with this? At least $150 2011 dollars is SIGNIFICANTLY LESS than $330 1984 dollars. I must think that, in order to feel better. Nothing big here, but I really remember spending a lot of time, excited with this issue, because Atari computers finally (rarely) got some press, and the Atari 1040ST was a real milestone and price/performance salvo, fired in 1986. Sentimental memory: Flying to my grandmother's funeral (a long, long way from Anchorage) in 1986 the very month this issue was out, buying it in the newsstand at O'hare, and a minor bright spot on a sullen trip. It was also nice to get this mint for $4 (shipped) as opposed to the rip-off pricks always listing it. I missed out on this era of Atari computing, and that's perhaps why I find intrigue in the STe. As Rybags said, it's kind of the "ST as it should have been." I meant to bid on Bryan's but I forgot and lost the auction. This was a NICE specimen, and the STe doesn't come up that often, hence the $100 high price. I thought this wasn't a bad price, for a nice SF314. Bonus: came boxed, but no packing material......bubblewrap, but packed in the original box, and nice shape. EDIT: IT WAS NOT $39 FOR SHIPPING; THAT WAS EXPEDITED WHICH WAS DEFAULT. IT WAS $15 FOR PARCEL POST, WHICH WAS SELECTABLE. This was a spare, but came boxed. The 850 box is nothing to brag about, though. It's just a bland brown cardboard box. Still, a good price for a mint spare 850, complete. You should have seen how much the boxed original [model] 410 went for, that he was also selling. Not a price like this!!!! [could not find it, but it was well over $100 and it was NICE] Beats nothing. This Creative Computing was also one I remember well, from my formative years. The article on the 520ST (on the cover) was a nice piece, written by the late John J. Anderson. Anderson wrote the "Outpost: Atari" column, before handing it over to Arthur Leyenberger. It was a great walk down memory lane, about the underdog status of Atari computers, and as with the BYTE magazine above, a rare instance of some mainstream Atari coverage. As with the BYTE, this was mint condition, and not expensive like some of the Ebay pricks are asking. Bonus? Compute October 1985 with full 520ST review, and mint too!! Yee-ha! Last year, I got a complete Sublogic Flight Simulator II for the 8-bit, and I really wanted one for the ST. When this program came out, it was really phenomenal and showed off ST potential. I love both versions, and they're both instrumental in my Atari memories. Very happy with this, and the 8-bit purchase of the same, earlier. I can't bullshit you. I don't know squat about ML. I'd like to learn, although I seem to be forever challenged by retard high-level stuff. Still, it's hard to assemble an ST library of books. Quite simply, there does not exist 96 Atari ST Books in a torrent like with the 8-bit. One day (not soon) I may be willing to try to make one, if I could do it without destroying my books. This is a great book, however, and even at my cursory level of understanding, I really like the many sidebar articles that explain ST specifics that I can barely fathom. Nice Koalapad that's boxed - and doesn't appear to have the shit scratched out of it - and does include stylus, but NO SOFTWARE. What was the software? Disk? Cartridge? Microillustrator, or some Koala-branded thing? Where to get? Maybe someday!!! **AND FINALLY** This isn't Atari exactly, but the Epson printers I'm going to use these on certainly will be used with Atari!!! I love Epson FX-series (and RX) and these - common as feathers on a duck back in the day - are a bit rare now. Lucky strike to find them - I got 2 sets (for 8-bit and ST Epsons) and there are 2 left. Been searching for these for a while. OK, thanks for reading. Make offer on anything...... :) :) Edited February 7, 2012 by wood_jl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fibrewire Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Nice score on the Indus GT! I have been debating on getting one for quite some time now, and if I had seen a freakin BRAND NEW IN BOX i would have snagged it at $150!!! Good score on the lot of items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havok69 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I saw one before, then this came up a week or so ago. A game I hadn't seen or played in over 28 years! Moon Shuttle. I had at that time only an Atari 400 with cassette recorder. I bought this on the local campus store and gave the disk to a developer, pretty big at that time, Dan Lawerence. I can't wait to fire it up. Thanks for posting this! I used to play this game for hours back in the day. Just fired it up on the SIO2PC and had a great game.

Ransom Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Wow, lots of really nice stuff, wood_jl! I would have gone for the GT at that price, too, if I was in the market for one. The spare 850 was a great deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxpressed Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 My search for an 800XL may be over: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 220950521287 This one may or may not work, but I'm encouraged by the good power supply. Not sure if I would buy any untested XL displayed with an ingot. If it doesn't work, the carts (which include a Pitfall II) are worth what I paid.

flashjazzcat Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 You should have asked Jon, I've got a loft full of those (with intact buttons). Heh - it was just one of those opportunistic bids, Paul. I figured I'd use it to house something else so the missing buttons wouldn't matter, but I'm now growing quite attached to it as a collector's piece.

Ransom Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I received a few things from Best and B&C tonight: (What looks like an 850 is actually the Super SALT diagnostics hardware.) (The stuff in boxes is the rest of the language tape sets -- Italian, Spanish, and French.) I also received a new monitor: I've just gotten the new monitor set up and hooked to my Mac. It has Composite, S-Video, RGB/VGA, DVI, and HDMI inputs, so I'm hopeful it'll work with the A8 computers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the print quality is great and no issues. I have a few rollers on order with Best Electronics. Hopefully I can keep in functional for a few years. Would be nice to find a 1027.
