When the atari first came out, I couldn't see paying $160 for an 850 interface
so I hacked the capabilities I needed for printer and modem in software and
used about $5 worth of hardware through the joystick port.
Last week I finally bought the 850 since I couldn't resist the price of only
$25.  This place also had 800XL for $69, and Atari disk drives for $75.
(While supply lasted although I believe they are still receiving shipments).
I can't remember the place, but I'm sure similar prices are available at
other "salvage" retail stores.
