#CX85
Today is Bring Your Atari to Work Day! I’ve brought along my Atari 800, CX85 Numerical Keypad, and my boxed copy of VisiCalc. Any math or spreadsheet stuff I need to do today will be done 1980 style. #Atari #AtariToWork

Found this fun Atari CX-85 Numeric Keypad Modification Kit so you no longer need drivers

Nice condition Atari CX85 numpad for your Atari 8-bit tax accounting dreams (untested)

Lovely boxed copy there, and lots of bonus points for the CX85

I'm making arrangements for the pickup in January (need someone with a car), but besides the CRT I'll also receive several hundred floppy disks, a bagful of instruction manuals and original documentation, original packaging, and no less than three CX85 numerical keypads.
So I got an incredible early birthday gift from an old family friend. And there's more hardware and software waiting for me to pick up, including, at last, a beautiful little CRT tv!

I got the cx85 to control the turtle!!

(Just a damn shame I can't draw...)

You gotta admit Atari's 8-bit packaging design team was cooking

Look at how beautiful my CX85 is.

It's utterly pointless, but looks incredible.

I'm trying to hack it into a project but being useless at programming, it's a bit of an issue.

But will ya just look at it!

There are only so many CX85 use cases so it seemed like it needed to be here.

You don’t want to know how much I paid for my 800! (Hint it was in the 90s and not a collectors item yet)

So you did get the CX85 in the mail?

A colleague claims he listened to a test stream of Kiss FM, and he says their jingles were similar to this ➡️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx85...

I actually understand that!

So today I'm playing with my cx85 (totally pointless) number pad, and I got it to change the border colours by poking the registers.

It uses the joystick inputs so you can peek the register and get it to control the border.

Pointless! But I'm learning subroutines!

800 is my absolute goal, I'll never be able to afford one but I can dream.

I almost had a 400 on eBay again, got out bid 😞

Still, having a 600 and an 800 XL will be amazing with my 410 (and my pointless cx85 😆)

Hot damn

Look at that! Id give kidneys to write 6502 machine code, even to draw a little space invader.

But I'm being good and sticking with basic and logo for now.

My assembly and action carts are fully back burner too but I think I can do it.

Hey I got the cx85 to change the screen colours!

Looks like some folks previously made widely capable DE-9 controller adapters - 2600-Daptor D9 - but production has ceased so they're difficult to get now.
Pity; I'd love to give my MiSTer a couple of ports that'll accept an Atari CX85 keypad, an Amiga CD32 pad, a Sega Sports Pad, or an Atari mouse.

I used to sell Atari in the UK in the 80s, so I can imagine (man I should have bought one then, but I was 17 and stupid and 64k is bigger than 48!)

Cx85 is STILL in America but seems to be on the move... I have a delivery date of a week on Monday...

Gives me time to work on my calc program 😆
