FS: Atari 800 collection

[Dervacumen]

Greetings all,

 

I'm finally letting go of my personal collection.

 

I've got about three hundred disks full of software, (roughly 1000 programs), about 15 cartridges (mostly non-game stuff), about 30-50 Antic and Compute! magazines, many with the original disks, an Atari Touch Tablet (boxed) Edumate Light Pen, MPP-1150 printer interface, 410 disk recorder, 850 interface, two more Atari 800's (1 with no case anymore (?), the other was my power rig at the time, with an original custom wired 288K RAMdisk built for me by Scott Peterson while he was stationed at Fort Ord. (Search the 'net for this one!) 3 810 disk drives (one I wrote on with a permanent marker warning me not to turn it on because it was partially disassembled), 1 810 Happy disk drive with Warp Speed DOS 7.0 and instructions, about 15 books on programming the Atari, and the original manuals for almost all of the hardware. I've also got a 3 inch binder full of photocopied documentation for several games, and other interesting stuff like Atari software protection techniques. Complete Letter Perfect package, including origianal binder and docs. One disk with Ballblazer and HardHat Mac was leaked to me by an Atari employee at the time, and can't even be copied with the Happy Drive. Paddles, Joysticks, and a few Apple II programming manuals. Also a collection of various 5.25 floppy sleeves, each different, about 50 or so I guess. Also about 8 new in box 16K memory modules, a nice blue cloth cover for the Atari computer, several I/O cables, power supplies, etc. About half of this was used to run my BBS in the mid-late eighties, so it includes a few BBS programs. I'm sure I'm missing some things in this list, but you're welcome to check it out if you live in the area. I can take pics and give a lot of detail on request.

 

It fits in 5 large boxes, and weighs in total about 150 pounds, maybe a bit more.

 

ADDED: I'm in Hollister, CA, USA. I work in San Jose, CA, USA. Sorry I skipped that um...important point.

 

 

Looking to move it to a local collector as a lot rather than go the ebay route.

Shipping would be killer.
