Atari CX85 Numeric Keypad Field Service Manual

I scanned the Atari CX85 Numeric Keypad Field Service Manual (Nov 1982) and uploaded it to archive.org.

The best thing you can do (especially as a Atari 800 beige user) is to get More Than Games to directly connect the numeric keyboard to the regular keyboard. At that point no drivers needed and you can use it whenever you want to. Numeric Keypad in Star Raiders? Oh yeh.. that's what I'm talking about.

Best Electronics sells the complete new in the mint box Book Keeper for like $20 ... that includes all of the software AND the numeric keypad controller. I don't use mine for much, but it looks nice on the shelf. I did have it displayed at Vintage Computer Festival East this year with my Atari 800 Visicalc setup.

I found its cheaper to by the Bookkeeper kit which includes the CX85. Its only $18 at Best.

Isn't that basically what Bill just said? $18 is pretty close to "like $20."

$2, cash!
