Don't know about modems though. This kind of stuff isn't their regular business, though, so they don't regularly stock these items. If they have extras laying around, stuff they may have purchased in a quantity at a good price, they'll be glad to it to you. The person who will answer the phone is Ron. Their number is 716-586-5545. Tell Ron I sent ya.

Although this company doesn't have anything that you need, ICD inc.
is a company dedicated to 8bitters, as well as having an ST product line.
Maybe you could get good advice on Atari-manufactured peripherals,
as well as third-party manufacturers. The address & numbers:
ICD, inc.
1220 Rock Street
Rockford, Ill 61101-1437

Maybe I'm being naive, but I would recommend the Atari double-sided,
double density drive (I think it's model 1551 or something). I don't
know where to find it.
A good idea is to pick up the COMPUTER SHOPPER, a big catalog of
computers and related equipment. Although it has little or no info
on Atari dealers, it's a good place to look for deals on cheap
modems and the like (if you want to buy new stuff). Maybe it does
have Atari 8bit dealer information; I'm not sure.
Hope this helped.
