Atari users listen up: NewSell is currently offering hardware surplus items that can also be used with the Atari. For example, scanners from the Umax Astra series are available from DM 79. For the SCSI scanners (look for the “S” in the product name!) driver software is available from falkemedia – just call 04 31-27 365.
Just as interesting is the Wacom ArtPad II, an A6 graphics tablet formerly priced at DM 199, now available for only DM 50. The ArtPad II can be connected via the serial interface and can thus be used together with the freeware PixArt.
A little advice on the side: NewSell also sells the Mac clone “Umax Apus 2000” as barebones hardware. The computer is based on a 240 MHz PowerPC CPU (603e), has 16 MB RAM onboard and is equipped with a 12-fold SCSI CD-ROM and an HD disk drive. Graphics and sound are also onboard. So for an installation of MacOS plus MagiCMac, only an IDE hard disk is needed. Without the hard disk, the computer sells for only DM 250.
All the above offers are valid while stocks last. (tr, ag)
