They make a nice programmable calculator; the
built-in BASIC is pretty
good, and they run forever on AA batteries, so you
can take them with you
to job sites. The major problem is a lack of disk
drives, so a cable to
connect the CC-40 to a 99/4A or other computer to
download programs is a
good idea. I'm assuming every serious computer
collector has several
"mint-in-box" 99/4As under the stairs : v
)
If you can find them, there were also several good
cartridges made for the
CC-40 (like Statistics, Advanced Math routines,
Expense Account records,
etc). But they're rare, at least up here in the
Great
White North.
I know someone who has (or at least had) a large number
of CC-40 cartridges new in the box. They types are:
Electrical Engineering
Statistics
Games
Memo Processor
Finance
Math
I believe his price is $5 each.
He also has the following accessories at various
prices:
RS232 units with 110 VAC wall adapter
300 Baud Modem units
16K Ram cartridges
He also had a number of CC-40 units new in the box.
His price was $25, or $30 if configured with 18K of
RAM.
If anyone wants his e-mail address please contact me
off the list.
