So I picked this up a huge lot of 1200xl stuff from this guy on craigslist today.

But i found this mixed in with all of the stuff. What is this exactly? I tried plugging it in, but nothing happened, it just went to the colorful Atari screen

It appears to be some kind of home made test cart. Interesting anyway.

...looks like a home made "Super-Cart" to me. Made one myself years ago...

There's no ROM on that board. The IC is a hex inverter.

It looks like the inner workings of a Flux Capacitor. It should work fine, but you need to get it up to 88 MPH. That, along with one point twenty-one jiggawatts of power and it should kick in just fine! Posted Image

looks like a LED night-light contraption with an on/off switch on the side. it's Neil Diamond's HEART LIGHT!

...the "Super-Cart" was a device that let you play back-up cart copies from your floppy drive. Only went to 16K though. The tricky part was coping carts!

If you look closer, it's got a Texas Instruments SN series sound chip. These were found in TI99/4a , Sega MasterSystem, and Nintendo NES (maybe Coleco?)
