Hi again,
Looking for anyone who knows the actual release date for the Novation CAT acoustic modem. This is NOT the Apple-CAT II direct connect modem that came out in 1981, this is the acoustic one that was not only sold by Novation directly but was also rebranded for Atari, TI, Tandy, and others (including Apple).
My notes had at some point gotten 1980 as the release date for this, but it must have come out sooner than that. The "Modem IIA" was in Apple's price lists as early as Feb 1979, and the Modem IIB was advertised in "The Personal Computer Magazine & Catalog, Vol 1, No 2" from Apple later in 1979, and the Modem IIB is pictured, showing the Novation CAT style.
