Picked this thing up at Wacky Willy's in Portland, OR for $5 with a floppy
drive(actually two 5.25" drives in a case with a PS). Not quite sure what
to think of it. It says ATR8000 SWP Microcomputer Products on the front,
lighted power switch on front, and on the back we have two 13-pin Molex
connectors marked Peripheral Out and Computer In, and three edge-connectors
marked RS-232, Printer and Floppy Drive. Inside it says Software
Publisher's ATR8000, and has a Z80 CPU, a WDC floppy IC and a VERY small
amount of RAM... They assumed it was an Atari of some sort, as they
recently got an 800 and 800XL. Does anyone have any idea what the ATR 8000
is?
BTW, if you need some Univac disk packs(don't remember the numbers on it)
they have two at WW's. Kinda expensive, they say they sell the platters
seperatly to artists _at_$10 each. With 4 or 5 platters in each pack, you
either need to shell out almost $50 or be good at convincing them that it's
not worth that much(and it's not easy, I've tried before). BTW, it's at the
Vaughn St. location, at the end of the Fremont bridge(US30 exit, then the
Vaughn St exit from the exit ramp...).
