Brentarian Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Many years ago (probably 20+) I purchased a couple of CX-85 number keypads from BG Micro for $5 each. It looks like they found some more recently that they're selling for $20 new. I thought I'd pass it on if anyone is interested (I still have my two and don't need another). They also have the large 400/800 PAL crystals and variable inductors. http://www.bgmicro.com/search.aspx?find=atari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I have one, but I could never figure out how it worked. Is there some doc for thing anywhere ? I have some CX85 handler from Reeve the printer driver guy or something, but I never got around to disassembling it to see how the CX85 works.

+Nezgar Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Looks like the original handler disk, users guide, and technical reference notes are all on Atarimania: http://www.atarimania.com/utility-atari-400-800-xl-xe-atari-cx85-numerical-keypad-handler-diskette-_30033.html 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariNerd Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 That was quick. Got it in the mail, today, cardboard box within a bag, internal contents safely wedged in paper. Noticed it was unbagged (is this typical?) and there was a bit of schmutz on the bottom of the device. Lettering isn't as crisp as I might expect, but clean and legible. Could just be the effects of age.Not certain, but maybe if were in a bag prior, there was some reaction between the rubber feet and that situation, causing the smudging.. NOS? Don't know, but unscratched and the key action seems well. It was the last in stock, so may have been the least ideal. Anyways, it's very nice condition, otherwise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 So they cancelled my order. I have one already anyways and I'm pretty sure Brad and Bruce have plenty of new ones. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Yep, and you can get it cheapest buying the Bookkeeper kit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
