The Atari-Datasette


The Atari-cassetterecorder 410 was built for the first Atari computers the 400 and 800. The special thing about this cassetterecorder was that the second audio-track was reserved for speech and music. The result was a less data stability but it allowed unique education-programs. You could learn lections with the computer and a teacher speaking from the cassette. Unfortunately, the concept was never supported very much by Atari.
Another disadvantage was the unability to use tape-speeders.
