Atari
8-bit hard drive interface
by Del McCool
Because of the
over whelming response to my column (Atari in
the USA 2002) last month on Sijmen and Sandra
Schouten, I am pleased to share the news that
Sijmen has decided
to build the 8-bit IDE hard drive interface
kits and sell them for €39.95 Euro - for those
who don't have the time or talent to build there
own. He has asked that at least twenty people
place orders before he goes forward with this
plan.
I went ahead
and placed an order for one for my Atari 800XL
(which he makes a cartridge version that you
can just plug in for ease of use).
So add that hard
drive to your Atari 8-bit!

PCB (Production version will be etched and soldered into a professionally
manufactured PCB).

Note: Price does not include empty cartridge case, only PCB and interface.
I'll see you
next month in Atari in the USA 2002!
