I think posting my general pleas reaches the most ears on this topic...
 
   OK!  I went flea-marketing last weekend and brought home a Novell terminal
and some Atari junk...   Needing assistance and knowledge boosting!
 
  The Novell Data Systems terminal is a two piece model (detached keyboard).
The part containing the CRT and support hardware describes itself as model #
850-19-005, serial # 779.  The keyboard claims to be model Nexus I, serial #
697.  The keyboard is a 119 key QWERTY (many fuction keys).  On the back, the
terminal has three plugs:  two RS-232 types (DB-256), one 9-pin that looks
like my //c's joystick port, and one long blue thing that looks like it would
accept a PC board or a big rainbow-colored cord.  I bought this for only $7.50
from a surplus dealer and it seems to work.  Any and all information would be
appreciated!
 
I also purchased ($3.50) a "Supercharger" for an Atari 2600.  Made by
Starpath/Arcadia, it is like double-long cartridge with a walkman-earphone
plug on the end of a cord.  The label instructs me to insert it into the Atari
and plug the cord into the audio output on my cassette player.  I did that.
(Using Kitaro as the message... :)  )  The screen showed a starfield with the
words "Rewind Tape" and "Press Play"...  The only response I've received so
far is when I tuned the radio to weird sounding AM noise...  This leads me to
believe that the Supercharger is meant to play DATA cassettes.  (Wow)  Does
anyone know about this toy or have Atari 400, 800, or 1200 cassettes to use?
(Public domain, of course...)  
 
   Thanks for the time,
