Roger, those numbers don't sound right. At the very least, that should
be a 30mb drive. But with the number of sectors that they are packing
onto a disk these days, it would doubtless be much higher.

You know you're mixing hobbies dangerously when you read something like
this and your mind starts thinking of car engines.....

Anybody knoe where I can get an Atari 2600 for parts? Obviously I would
prefer a broken one as ripping up a working machine is just wrong. All I
really need is a player1 Joystick port, and I haven't had any luck finding
a 90-degree DB9 port...

Try comp.sys.atari2600 (is that right?) or one of the other many classic
video game newsgroups. Also, scan the online auctions. You can get good
deals occasionally (if some nitwit doesn't bid the price up to some
ridiculous level). Lastly, try your local thrift shops as they almost
invariably have an old 2600 with some carts laying around.

Forgot to mention, try www.atari2600.com as well. That will get you
started on a search.
