I spent most of today checking out most of my favorite places and found
few goodies to take back to Texas. A lot of it is too new to list here
but at the low prices I could not pass the items up. I picked a April
1985 issue of COMPUTE! with pictures and a article on a Commodore LCD
called a second-generation lap portable with 80 x 16 flip-up display,
32K RAM, internal modem, and eight built-in programs for under $600.
Has anyone every seen one in real life or better yet does anyone own
one? It looks pretty cool in the photo shown in the mag. Some of the
other items are listed below.
1. ICD printer connector cable for Atari 850 new in unopened package
2. Tandy cat#26-1398 6' RS232C cable new unopened package
3. Commodore Model 1351 mouse
4. Several Sega Master System cartridges
5. Compute! March 1985 issue some good stuff in it also.
6. Several mousepads for the collection
7. A RAD robot
8. A nice book called Understanding Computers by Grace Murray Hopper
9. Some Apple and Toshiba technical manuals
10. Tele-games Video Arcade (Sears) with 2- controllers and 2- paddles,
also came with 3 cartridges
11. A NeXT keyboard (pn 2122) and mouse (pn 193), the mouse was a style
I had not seen before.
Well that's all I can list as the others are not classic yet. Keep

button mouse, both non-ADB for older NeXTstations and Cubes.

3. Commodore
Model 1351 mouse
Um, is this something one should grab if one saw it? (Considering that
one owns no Commodore stuff, but like trading toys...)

Well, they aren't that common either. I still have to use a joystick with GEOS
despite the multitude of Commodore stuff I have. They come up occasionally
on E-pay and at some point I'll have to bite the bullet unless someone has
one to trade.
Lawrence
If you like, but they're not all *that* rare.

I suspect that what you have in your bag is an ICD P:R:Connection which is
a two port serial, one port paralell interface. Is it square and grey in
color with an ICD P:R:Connection moniker printed thereon? Might by itself
be worth $50.00 to an Atari Enthusiast.
Else it might just be a cable. If so, that same cable works with the
Atari 850 interface for the same purpose.

Jeff

New subject: Strange Atari Cable
Yes it's gray and the package says the following: "Connects the Atari
8-bit computer to Industry Standard Centronic's Parallel Printers. ICD's
State-of-The-Art Interface Electronics Built into Cable End (including a
custom, single chip microcomputer). Requires No separate power source."
Not a bad deal for $2.95, will have test it later.
