Atari Diagnostic Cartridge

[Muddawg]

Hey y'all

 

I aquired an Atari 400 system 3 years ago and with it came a Atari Service Diagnostic Cartridge with this on the Label

 

DIAGNOSTIC CARTRIDGE

SALT 2.05

TE15644

 

I found it on Atarimania and they gave it a 9/10 in rarity

 

and so now someone is bugging me to sell the cart but i want a fair price on it because i know it is valuable. Any Ideas?

 

I also got an 8 port diagnostic board im not too sure about. I'll take some pics if anybody wants to see

 

Thanks for looking!

They aren't exactly common, but I've seen one (decades ago).

 

Pics would be nice. Of the board too, preferably closeups.

 

No idea on price for the cart, but I'd guess at least $40, maybe more considering that there are Bounty Bob carts going around with asking prices in the $150+ range.

Hmm i seriously thought it would be more then that. i took pictures of the little diagnostic board and the cart, though i didnt open it. (the label is on the wrong side?)

So what about this board? I know It goes with the cart.

 

The Text on the Board is

 

ATARI

JUMPER ASSEMBLY

ICTv 8 82

 

again, any ideas?

By the looks of it, just does loopback tests on the joystick ports.

The test board I have for the loopback and SIO looks different than that. It is also mounted in an 850 case. I just recently purchased the SALT cart and test board from Best. The SALT cart I got was the newer one that tests the XL series also.

I think that might have been the 810 drive diag cart.
