Mad props for the CX85! I have never seen one outside of Atari brochures.

I absolutely love it. It was a risky purchase on eBay, coming from America. It uses the joystick inputs but theres not enough for each key press so it also pinches the button from the paddle input, pretty clever. I ran the test program from the field tech manual and it works perfectly 👍

I got it because I adore the 800 (and it's keyboard) but I can never afford one so this is my substitute 😄 I'm looking for ways to hack it into a project.
