Seeking docs and schematic for Novation CAT modem - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

23 Sep 2016

Joe -   is that   the  direct connect one of  the  acoustic  coupler? I   
any event  SMECC   would  love a  copy  to  for our  files at the museum  
here.

A side issue  there  was a Novation coupler - modem... a white  one  that 
the  phone would sit on.  with coupler cups to the  side. Does anyone have 
any photos, advertising,  etc etc... on this ?

Thanks  Ed #  _www.smecc.org_ (http://www.smecc.org)

  Hi, All,

 Good  seeing many of you at VCF-midwest.  One of my scores was an
  Atari-badged Novation CAT modem.  Digging around for any docs,  what
 I'm mostly finding is lots of info about Novations Apple II  products,
 and scant mention with thumbnail pictures of the original  CAT acoustic
 coupler, that and dozens of sites copying the Wikipedia  article.

 Anyone have any CAT info?  I can  reverse-engineer the schematic, but
 if that's already been done, no  reason for me to redocument the wheel.
 I know it wants a 20VAC 400mA  PSU, but I want to check how strict that
 is (i.e., 18VAC @ 500mA or 24  VAC @ 350 mA, for example, which may be
 easier to find than an  unregulated 20VAC PSU).

 I would love to play with a CBM 8010  (since I have so many PETs) but I
 do happen to have a couple of  IEEE-488 to RS-232 devices, which will
 work fine with this Atari  830/Novation CAT.

I have the manual for a  103/212 smart cat modem. PN 490418-1/490521-1. 
Circa 1982

Is that  what you need?

Cheers,  Joe
