I know Atari vaporware is one of the biggest jokes we Atarians(?) have to
live with, but the SX212 is *not* one of them. I've seen them being sold
at my local Federated stores, and a few of the local BBS users around the
L.A. area have bought them for use with the 8-bit Ataris. I haven't had
any direct experience with it, but it IS for $99, it IS Hayes-compatable
(finding a good R: handler is the trick for using it with the 8-bits), and
it IS a good bargain.

Just to throw some GOOD news around,
