Best Electronics has been Sold Out of the very popular Wizztronics Atari 8 bit Midimax MIDI interfaces for close to 6 – 7+ years now. Not to use the over used “
RARE” word on E-Bay Atari listings, the MIDIMAX product is one step more. In the last 10+ year of watching for Atari items on E-bay every single day, I think in total, we have only seen one used Wizztronics MIDIMAX listed and sold on E-Bay. Think of it, have you ever seen a Wizztronics Atari MIDIMAX ever listed on E-bay at all? World wide Atari 8 Bit Computer (400 (48K), 800 (48K), 1200XL, 800XL, 65XE / 130XE and XE Game owners simply will not part with their highly prized Atari MIDIMAX interface. With an inexpensive MIDI Keyboard you can now learn how to use MIDI Synthesizers, Drum machines, Write/Save, Play and Modify Music without the normal High cost of a normal MIDI system and Atari ST, PC or Mac Computer. With the MIDIMAX MIDI interface, standard MIDI Keyboard, 2 MIDI cables and an Atari 8 bit computer with disk drive, you have a Brand New application for your Classic Atari 8 bit Computer!!We have some interesting News on the Atari MIDIMAX product

I
over paid for an
Atari
item!
E-Bay is a great place for Atari Bargains, but over the
last 14 to 15+ years we have seen Atari E-bay bidders
over pay for thousands of New and
Used Atari items that have No
Warranty at all, when Best Electronics has the exact same
New Atari item in stock for less money
with the normal Atari 90 Day
Warranty
(same Atari
Warranty for the last 33+ years) and in most cases with cheaper shipping
charges.
So when you find an Atari item on E-Bay you are thinking about bidding on,
suggest you come to the Best Atari Web site to find if Best Electronics has the
same New Atari item in stock. Remember that not all of the over 5,000+
Atari items we have in stock are listed at this Atari web site, only the more
popular ones we get requests for. If you can not find it on this all Atari
