Hi all,
I'm looking for a power cable for my Cromemco System 3. It's kind of a
bizarre cable. The recessed male panel jack is a flattened oval, 1" by
1/2", with 3 conductors. The center ground pin is very slightly offset
from the other two pins.
Any thoughts where I can get one of these?
thanks
Kai

Actually, not too odd at all. Don't know about currently (as I've not
looked for a while) but these used to be quite common on office equipment.
And... (if you did not see this coming) I think I have a spare or two
around... (gotta turn over *all* of those rocks!)
Bad ASCII art warning!

Looks something (nothing?) like this? eh?
If you don't turn one up local, let me know and I'll try to find one to
send along with the other stuff...

New subject: Old, old game machine, etc.
I am curious as to if anyone remembers an old game console type of thing
that had two games built into ROM. If I remember correctly it was a ping
pong type game and one or two others you could turn on with a flip of a
switch. It had two controllers.... both paddle style. Any information on
this would be appreciated.
Second, does anyone have a Colour Genie computer for sale or trade? I
would prefer here in the U.S. to cut down on shipping charges if possible.
Also looking for cables, software, etc.
Third, does anyone know how much a Tanyo Dragon 64, in the original foam,
box, with all cables, and in imacualte unused condition is worth? I have
one,a dn am looking for disk drives and controllers, as well as software
for it.
And finally, let me know if you need any TRS-80 or CoCo items, or have
ANYTHING for sale. As I like to say, "always buying, selling, and
trading!"
Thanks a ton,
CORD

There were plenty of these made, by plenty of manufacturers. I have
three different ones: A Bently-Compuvision, a generic "Pong" console and
an Odyssey 300. Each has pretty much the same, exact, mind-numbing four
games. They can be found from time to time at thrifts and flea markets.

Yes, I saw one called a Rally IV (i believe) today at the thrift. Almost
picked it up for the $4 they wanted.

About the "thrift".

them? Flea market that I tried in canada is poor in this
technological respect. :( what else?
Thanks!

Jason,
Yes, Salvation Army and other 2nd had stores. There are 3 such stores
within a few miles of my house, so I tend to pop into them almost
anytime I'm out and about. Sometimes they are a tad overpriced, but
I've also gotten some really good deals at the smaller of the three. It
is where I picked up the Atari 8bit stuff the other night. I just had
to have the Bit-3 board when I found it!

I found an interesting board the other day in a thrift shop. Its a
stock-quote system. You plug it into your PC and then a monitor, and it
has some link to a stock-quoter service and you get stocks quotes over
your PC. I haven't looked at it in too much detail but it comes with the
manual. I'm sure the service costs an arm and a leg though. And I can't
remember if it came with software or not.

New subject: Atari PSU's
Thanks to all that made suggestions concerning the Atari 8bit PSU's. I
had no idea that the #CO14319 PSU was used by most of the stuff for the
original 800, including the 1050 drive and the 850 interface. Thanks to
the suggestions I've finally been able to verify that one of my 1050's
does indeed work, though it's not likely to get used much since I
normally use an IndusGT.
