CMCCalifornia Microlink CorpI/O ModuleParallel & Serial PortsforATARI 800Personal Home ComputersThis is very rare card. They were thought to have been lost to time, but here is one.
It is a card that give the Atari 800 parallel and serial ribbon cable ports right out of the computer. No need for the then still expensive 850 interface unit.From AtariAge Forums, and the Legend "Curt Vendel":"a company called California Microlink Corporation and one of their products was going to be the Easy I/O board. Again, another board that used that magically well pinned Slot #3 and provide a Parallel and Serial port to the Atari 800's.Dave said they never sold any and he only built a few and they are long gone in a landfill, but a mailer does still exist, so at least that is something to prove it at one point existed."Here is a link to the original mailer
This card is not fully populated, but the missing chips look like the are mostly just TTL chips.I have not put this into an 800. so selling as untested. The card is clean, but there are wear mark on the front and back that seem to be from being in a drawer and sliding around over the years. I kept it in an anti-static bag. This item is definitely not under any manufacturer warranty. Must be sold as is. No guaranty real or implied.
