I am considering selling an Atari 1040 and purchasing an IBM compa-
tible. I need to know what kind of money or trade I can expect to get for
the Atari before I bother. I am about to start graduate school, and that
means I'm about to be poor! (There's a price list for used synthesizers on
rec.music.makers.synth, but no equivalent list for computers...)
This system is tailor-made for a MIDI musician. Details follow:
* Atari 1040 ST
TOS 1.0
1 MB RAM
720K floppy drive
* SupraDrive 20 Mb external SCSI drive, 18 months old
* 12" Atari monochrome monitor
* Generic 2400 baud external modem
* Software: All software is registered and comes with manuals.
Passport's Master Tracks Pro, Version 2.5 (sequencing software)
Dr. T's Copyist Professional (scoring software)
First Word (word processor - *not* the PD version)
Megamax's Laser C, Version 2.0 (programming language)
VIP Professional (spreadsheet package - low-tech Lotus clone)
Partner ST (desk accessory with integrated calendar, cardfile, etc.)
Migraph's Easy Draw (an early, pre-Postscript release)
NeoDesk (improved desktop for Atari ST)
Universal III (improved file selector for Atari ST)
Miscellaneous software (including Uniterm communications software)
I will consider all prices above $900. I am also willing to
trade the Atari system for a quality (386 or 486) PC, including lap-tops.
I own some PC hardware, so a complete system may not be necessary.
