Black Box 3 - What is this thing, and is it worth anything?

[cousinkinoko]

Hello!

 

Recently I found a strange Atari cartridge at a flea-market in Poland. It has the name "Black Box 3" printed on it.

Does anyone on this forum know what this is? And is it worth anything?

After Googling "Black Box" I found some information about some sort of cheat module for Atari's computer range. But it doesn't look the same as the cartridge that I found.

Here is a Youtube-video I made, where you can have a closer look at it:

I hope someone knows something about this thing!

I'm aware of Black Box carts for the C64 (I have a couple here somewhere), are you sure it's for the Atari?

[cousinkinoko]

Have a look at the video - on the back of the cart there is the text "T2000 Atari" printed on it.

Gotcha. All I can tell you, based on the couple I have, and one instruction sheet in Polish, is they are utility carts of some kind.

[cousinkinoko]

Do you have any photos of the carts you have? Do they look the same? I'm still wondering what console it's for, and if it's worth anything. Could it be Atari 400/800?

I would be interested to trade or sell the cart if there are any bidders, as I don't really have any use for it myself.

I'll have to go find them, but I'll see what I can do...

The PCB is too wide for it to be a 400/800 cart. It must be a utility cart for the ST line of computers.

don't have an st, so i don't know about st carts, but that connector looks alot like a c64 connector. don't know if it is, or why it would say atari on the back if it was for 64, but the connector is very similar to a c64 connector.
