NISMOPC Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I received this in a lot a few months back and looked it up, but not much on it. I do not have the hardware to support it and have no desire to purchase a Katronics Interface or have a reason for a (TTYP) radio teletype terminal. Thoughts of value or who would want it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Could I get you to take a strait down picture of both the front and back so I can add it to the Atarimania database? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Thag Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I do ham radio. I'd totally be interested, but I've no clue on value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew that there were a few Atari study aids out there, but it's interesting to see something like this pop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NISMOPC Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Guys I have had a few private messages from members interested in this cartridge. I am not able to test it out currently because it is only 400/800 compatible and translator disk does not work with cartridges. I only own XE/XL 8-bits, but I will be receiving a 400 from a lot in a couple days and should be able to test the functionality of the cartridge then. I will not consider offering this cartridge to anyone until I am confident that it is in working order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Do you have any way of dumping the cart? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariGeezer Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 If this had a clean label, I'd say it's worth $100 to $150 ( It's what I've paid for these in the past ). But with the writing on it, $75+ ,,, I aced my Tech license 2 years ago Haven't used morse code in years though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NISMOPC Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) If this had a clean label, I'd say it's worth $100 to $150 ( It's what I've paid for these in the past ). But with the writing on it, $75+ ,,, I aced my Tech license 2 years ago Haven't used morse code in years though... That writing is from the manufacturer. Every kantronics cartridge I've seen online has it. Appears to be manufacturer date and some other details about it. Oops: yes not the handwritten ph#...

Lord Thag Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Maybe you should talk to Kevin, he'd be interested in buying and he has the capability to dump it so everyone interested could use it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was not compatible with XE/XL because it would load to a blue screen. All it needed was a good isopropyl cleaning on the end. Booted right up on my 130XE. I can now confidently say this cartridge does in fact work. I poked around a little bit to see functionality. That's about all I could do... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NISMOPC Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 So, I wondered about the phone number that is handwritten on the cartridge? I just googled it: Kantronics Address: 1202 E 23rd Street 66046 Lawrence , KS United States Email address: sales@kantronics.com (link sends e-mail) Phone (U.S. and Canada): 913-842-7745 Fax: 785-842-2031 Web Address: http://www.kantronics.com/ GO FIGURE! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowman1 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Looks like I am a day late (OK, more like a year late) on this one. Did anyone ever get this one dumped to a file? I am very interested in getting my 8 bit machine on the air with RTTY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I'm the current cart owner, but don't have a way of dumping it. I'm game for loaning it out to someone who's willing to do it, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I had bought mine from a ham who runs and electronics/ham shop about 7 years back for 25.00 new, he also had the complete TNC set up et al.... I think that I dumped it and there are Atarimax flash cart versions of them now, Dumping it and doing a compare it a great idea, is yours version 1.1?

Check out that thread for HamSoft and Amtor too from kantronics. What TNC or Radio Modem do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, it's still to be determined. I will probably pick up an old Kantronics interface and see what I can do about wiring up the cables to mate it up with an IC 746.
