99'er Forever Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I have here a Katronics Interface II that is used to interface an Atari 8bit with a hamradio. I have no way to test this stuff so it is being sold AS-IS. I do not have an A/C adapter for this nor any cables to hookup it to a computer or hamradio. The manual is very detailed so I don't see a problem in making or obtaining those cables and power adapter. Also with the Interface is the Hamtext cart software. Included is the following: Katronics Interface II Hamtext Cart User Manual for both the Interface and the software The original boxes for the Interface and software I searched the Internet for more information on this stuff or the rarity and haven't found much of anything. Everything is in good condition, the Interface is missing one rubber foot on the bottom. Therefore, I'll entertain any offers. Here is my feedback http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/169150-99er-forever/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambler172 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hi How much should it cost? greetings gambler172 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Not sure about how much it would cost, but the box is a kind of modem that translates data from the computer into packets for other packet users to intercept and decode using a similar setup. AFAIK it uses the same settings you would set as use on any modem; handshaking, start/stop bits, all that. Still usable hardware in today's radio world. But I cannot say much about the price. I have seen a range of prices on packet stuff go from a few cents per part to hundreds of dollars, regardless of vintage, make/model. Nathan /edit Also seeing that it would take a lot of cable making to get it hooked up to a radio and then the computer. I will pass it on to the radio users I know.

99'er Forever Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Since no one seems to know the value of this I'll set an asking price of $125 shipped in the US and we can go from there. I'll consider international offers also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
