Assuming Atari doesn't take back the old style mega keyboards, I'd be willing to part with $80 (U.S.) for your old style keyboard, for use with an adaptor on my new STE (*not* mega STE). BTW, since my STE is back ordered, are mega STE's available in the U.S.A with minimum memory and sans hard drive? If so, how much? I could cancell my STE order and get one of these if it doesn't cost more than ~$800 - $900 8-). thanks in advance, (no Atari dealer is within miles of here!)
