This was the original keyboard
component which Mattel planned to use to turn the Intellivision Video
Game System into a Home Computer. The trouble was they could never get
the cost down to a level where they could sell it so it wasn't released.
But, due to continued fines levied by the FTC brought on by consumer
complaints, Mattel produced a few and sold them to the biggest
complainers, thus there are a very small number of these out there.
Later, Mattel released a new keyboard unit to go along with the
Intellivision II system but it never lived up to the promises of this
first system. I know this is a REAL shot in the dark, but on the off
chance you have one I could acquire from you, my email address is
