+wood_jl Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Didn't want spend so big, but I just wanted to get this stuff before: * the next economic downturn * crashing dollar worsens exchange rate * post office strike/bankruptcy here or abroad * riot/turmoil/revolution here or abroad * death of another Atari hero ....any of which will mean I wouldn't be able to get. I'm a sucker for nice, cased stuff, and Lotharek's stuff REALLY looks like fantastic solutions. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 180698833472 and for the ST, and in case I run across a cheap Amoeba 500 one day..... eBay Auction -- Item Number: 170680648937 If I didn't think there's a possibility this stuff will only become more rare/expensive in the future, I certainly would have held on to these dollars/euros/pounds/whatever!

+wood_jl Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 390232521592 Atari ST composite cable. It was £15.49 shipped (roughly $25) so not exactly cheap, but it looks better quality than the other offerings. All offerings are from the U.K. Never see Yankees selling these. God Bless EN-GUH-LAND. The cheaper offerings were about £12 shipped (roughly $20), but the cable looked cheaper, and no gold connectors, whatever they're worth. Ebay search "atari st composite" brings them all up.

+wood_jl Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Forgot to mention this one.... eBay Auction -- Item Number: 170669924839 What the hell happened to the world's supply of these? I remember disdainfully kicking these things out of the way, in the old days. Now you have to pay big bucks to get one, and they're kind of rarely-listed on Ebay anymore.

Aestetically not beautiful as Jon's SIO2SD mods but anyway a nice little enclosure, perhaps the best available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of those from the same seller, pretty good quality, but I recently found a guy selling ORIGINAL st scart leads which are awesome quality, just right for my RGB 7800 Edited August 11, 2011 by mimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariGeezer Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Any chance of a dump? I believe this is the program our local cable station used (in the 80s), and I have been trying for years to find out what it was. Yep, in time I will Yeah - I checked out the 5000 version, but it doesn't look the same as what I remember on our local cable station. I was hoping maybe the older 3000 version was it. The 5000 operates the same way as the 3000, the 5000 has a bigger text buffer and allows character graphics, but otherwise they are the same...

fibrewire Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I even tried to convince the guy that without an interface card, they are worthless. And that my offer for $600 for both was more than fair. I guess he's entitled to the eBay ego. Somehow, I believe I contributed to this Corvus madness... Maybe if I show him that I am the sole purchaser of every Corvus item on eBay this year, he will reconsider my offer??? Yeah, it will become clear to him you'll pay the asking price. I offered the guy $1000 for both drives, no go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never use it - it was a "I've been awake for 24 hours, as usual" impulse buy. I want a different 'Made for Atari' EPROM burner. You want it?
