My VeryFirst Atari 2600 computer...

[Scuttle130]

Does this exist? Does anyone have one? Does anyone know where I can get one, or at least the schematic to build one?

 

thanx!

 

(In case the picture doesn't show up, its the computer keyboard for the Atari 2600.)

I think that one was actually realesed in Brazil, but below is a picture of the american PROTOTYPE that was never released.

So...it would be possible to get a My first Atari computer? From Brazill? Cool!! I gotta get one. Does anything actually work on one, or is it just kind of an amusing keyboard controller that has nothing to run on it?

I saw advertising for these keyboard units in Sweden when I was a kid (Wonder if I still got the magazine with the ad??). I was considering to buy one (or rather convince my parents to buy one for me ) But I got a ZX Spectrum instead. But I always thought they were available for purchase in Sweden, but I have never actually seen one. Where they never released?

Hi there!

 

I kind of remember seing a 2600 keyboard thing like that in Quelle catalogs back then, so I assume they were available in Germany as well.

How is this unit different from a Compumate system for the 2600?

I believe this is what Manuel is thinking of, the Universum/Compumate keyboard by Spectra..la..la.

 

The proposed Atari keyboard enhancement was supposed to do a lot more AFAIK.

Aah .. Now I remember the ad I saw was indeed from Spectravision. So Atari had their own keyboard unit planned..
