GrandviewCoin #1 Posted July 28, 2007 Thought you all might appreciate this more than a general forum.. So today for $50.00, I pickup up.. 2 Atari 800 XL’s w/cables 1 Atari 800 w/cables 2 Atari 1050 Disk Drives w/cables 1 Apeface parallel interface 1 Suncom Joystick Multiple books, manuals, & catalogs Leather type covers for one 1050 and one 800XL Lots of software, including many boxed items.. Go Go Track & Field controller.. and a sealed ICD US doubler Only thing that puzzles me are two carts.. one labeled Diagnostic Cartridge SALT 2.05 IE15644, and other with no shell that says Microsoft II has disk extender... thats it. Any help on those? and here are some pix! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deathtrappomegranate #2 Posted July 28, 2007 Boxed T&F is rare, even in less than perfect condition. Very nice score! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guus.assmann #3 Posted July 28, 2007 Boxed T&F is rare, even in less than perfect condition. Very nice score! The Salt is also rare. This is a diagnostic tool. (And I'm interested, as a technician. ) I've repaired the 8-bit machines as Atari employee but never used it ayway. There should be some hardware with the Salt, like cables to the joystick ports and more. The microsoft is a fairly good Basic. (Complies to a standard) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrandviewCoin #4 Posted July 28, 2007 Ah... lol well that explains that. I kinda had a guess going on the Salt, but the Microsoft.. shoulda known since there was an 800 in the mix.. And thanks for the kind words everyone, finds like these for me in Wisconsin are getting more like an X-file every cpl years now.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The discussion (in German) as well as some internal pix can be found at: http://abbuc.de/modules.php?name=Forums&am...opic&t=2936 Grtz, re-atari Edited July 28, 2007 by re-atari Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deathtrappomegranate #7 Posted July 28, 2007 The Salt is also rare. This is a diagnostic tool. In fact, that particular SALT cartridge is much more common than a boxed T&F package. That cartridge appears (maybe) 5 or 6 times per year; a boxed T&F is considerably harder to find. All that aside, though, this was a fantastic deal!
