I used the hell out of that thing as a kid, eventually even adding an aftermarket floppy disk drive that was dual-sided and double-density, storing an incredible 360kb per disk, vs the Atari 810's 90kb / disk.</p><p>The interesting thing about the serial I/O system is that it was auto-configuring - plug and play, in 1978! - and supported many different types of peripherals without having to manually load drivers or extra software. It acted a lot like the first version of USB - and Joe Decuir, the guy who designed it, also did significant work on USB decades later.</p><p>PCs wouldn't get an interface this nice until USB hit the platform in the 1990s.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Atari800" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Atari800</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Atari8Bit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Atari8Bit</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/8Bit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>8Bit</span></a> #6502 <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/USB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USB</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/SIO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SIO</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/AtariSIO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AtariSIO</span></a></p>
