Atari 830 Modem

[ziggystar]

How rare is an Atari 830 modem? I just got one, along with some CX85 number pads, they must not be too rare.

 

Also I got an Orange Basic XL by OSS cart, 3 basic computing language carts, and 2 assembler editor carts. Any values to these?

 

thanks!

Basic XL is probably worth about $10; its value doubles with the manual.

 

The rest of your items are quite common. I don't think that the 830 would command a very high price, given the fact that it had an extensive production run. I haven't had a phone that had a handset that could be used with that modem for years!

I knew the basics were common but had no idea the assembler editor ones were common too.

 

Hmm, I also got a 410 and 1010 tape drive, a xep80 and a 850 module with cables. Any of those things worth anything?

 

thanks!

I'm afraid that they their value is largely nostalgic. The XEP80 is "semi-uncommon", but almost worthless without AtariWriter 80 or one of the few 3rd party WPs that were written to take advantage of the system. I place its value at around $15 CIB.

 

Your 850 might be useful for future hardware projects, but is otherwise too cumbersome for everyday use. ICD made a lot of parallel/serial interfaces for the A8s, and they tend to fetch better prices.

 

Most Atari tape drives are very common and have little value at the present time.

if the 830 modem is the one thats pictured as the Icon for the forums at the top of this page..then I have at least two phones here that will work with it. I.e. a big ass old phone that looks like a phone
