Lifeguard #1 Posted November 17, 2011 Today I found 4 PDI programs in original packaging and they look to be new. They are for the early Atari computers. Is there more info out there about this company? What I found... The Adventures of Oswald - 5 1/4 Disk and Audio Cassette Code Breaker / 16K - Cassette Minicrossword / 24K - Cassette Kross 'N Quotes / 16K - Cassette Atarimania.com lists them at rarity 9 for the top three and Kross 'N Quotes isn't even listed with a rating. Any other opions on how rare these are? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kheffington #2 Posted November 17, 2011 The Atari Mania rarity guide is for complete boxed items. Are these loose cassettes? Cassettes and disks in general are not as desirable for most collectors as cartridges. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
www.atarimania.com #3 Posted November 17, 2011 A low "9" in rarity seems appropriate for the items you got. Nice score, particularly if they're new! PDI titles usually don't sell for that much, apart from some of the more ambitious, less educational programs and the "late" 1984-85 software which seems almost impossible to find. Do you want to keep the games? If so, please consider dumping them. Otherwise, I'll gladly buy the lot so everything can be archived. -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Gunstar, Thanks for pointing out again that what I found are new. I guess psoting pictures would help. I'll work on that... So you have some of the other good stuff; a TI-99/4A and a Laser128. Those bring back memories... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those bring back memories... I aquired both of those computers in non-working condition. I am in the process of restoring them. I haven't even actually used them yet. I've got power issues with both, I can not find original cords/powerpacks so I'm rewiring with substitutes. The Laser128 uses multiple voltages with the built-in disk drive, so that's an issue. I've powered both up and know they work, now, but I used my analog/digital trainer box for the temporary power sources. As you can see, they need a bit more work, especially the TI 99/4A which is missing keys. Edited November 17, 2011 by Gunstar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lifeguard #7 Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) I'll keep my eyes open for another TI-99/4A for you. I see them every now and then. Good luck with your power issues. I'm no help there... Edited November 17, 2011 by Lifeguard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lifeguard #8 Posted November 18, 2011 I took some pictures. Here they are... Everything looks new and complete inside the packages. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
