WTB: Atari 1030 modem [Albany, NY]

[Havok]

Looking for an Atari 1030 modem. I don't need anything except the modem, and it doesn't even need to work.

I dug through my Atari box today and could not find mine.  I must have gotten rid of the modem at some point.  I remember being disappointed Atari no longer sold the acoustic model when I bought my 1030.  I wanted to be able to put the phone receiver on the modem like David Lightman in WarGames.

Just out of curiosity what are you going to use it for?

I want to hack an SIO2PC and put it in there. I want to put the SIO connector on the back, and hook up the LEDs in the front. Actually, if you think about what it's doing, it makes sense to go in there; kinda the same purpose as a modem, and so much more.

I simply installed it inside my 130XE: I glued the MAX IC topside down on one of the other chips and soldered all required wires to the SIO port.

Then made a new hole for a miniature sub-D connector with a "real" RS-232 set-up in the back. This way I could simply use a standard RS-232 cable to the PC.

I must say, this was one of the best uses for a PC ever !

That's a clever idea.  I've been meaning to look into SIO2PC at some point.
