It turns out that Cygnus became Interstel. I don't know the history behind
the name change (or the reason).
Best regards,

The Cygnus version was first I beleive (copyright 83, 85). Interstel
version is copyright 83,86. I'll leave the "worth" judgement up to you. I
don't think either one is more common than the other. However, I am a
particular fan of Interstel because of their awesome version of Empre:
Wargame of the Century -- one of my all-time favorite games. Interstel's
version was also the first version I played...the version that was
available for the Atari ST at the time.

I still love this picture, as I can (scarily) identify over 20 titles on the
shelves, even given the pic's crappy resolution.

I had no idea. Which one is "worth" more?

After 4 or 5 of those, they lose their effectiveness :-) I have one filled
to
the brim with backup Lexmark IBM keyboards, however, thank goodness. I
can't
type effectively on anything else.
