You're using one right }now!* There are still several excellent Atari 8-bit publications available. See the MAGAZINE file!* There are still many }excellent mail order sources for Atari 8-bit hardware and replacement parts. See the 2 DEALERS files!* There are still HUND}REDS of classic commercial Atari 8-bit programs and cartridges available at bargain basement prices from mail order sources. }Do you realize that there are many more commercial programs available now than when Atari's 130XE model was first introduced.} They're cheaper too!* And, there are now thousands of great Atari 8-bit Public Domain & Shareware programs available. In f}act, there's a whole new crop of 8-bit users in Europe and elsewhere who are still writing excellent new programs for your co}mputer. These programs are available at a nominal cost through your local Atari club's disk library and from some of the mail} order sources listed in the DEALERS files.* And, face it, we 8-biters are fanatics! There will be Atari 8-biters still act}ive long after the last Atari ST has fried its chips. BELIEVE IT!So, PLEASE don't give up on your Atari 8-bit. The truth is}, you'll never find enough hours to fully realize its true potential. It's still a great computer and it's still plenty power}ful enough for most of your computing needs. Above all, it's fun and it's very friendly to use. So, ...use it!Happy 8-Bit C9}The material contained in this file is in the Public Domain and may be freely copied.

If you already own a PC with a hard drive (or know where you can get an old 286 system cheap), t%}hen perhaps the SIO-2-PC Interface will be the answer to your prayers.The SIO-2-PC Interface installs Atari 8-bit disk "ima%}ges" in the RAM area of your PC, in either single, 1050 enhanced or double-density. These disk "images" can then be operated %}as virtual "disk drives" and their contents can be saved to your PC's hard drive or to PC diskettes (any format).The SIO-2-%}PC Interface is a little box with 2 cables. One connects to the SIO port of your last Atari disk drive, and the other one con%}nects to your PC's serial port. No tools are required and complete instructions are included.To use, you first run the PC s%}ide of the program, load your required disk image from your PC's drive, turn on your Atari Monitor, then turn on your Atari c%}omputer. Actually, once you transfer your programs over to the PC you don't even need your Atari disk drive anymore! You only%} need an Atari drive to initially transfer your programs. Think of it. All your Atari disks could be safely stored on your PC%}'s hard drive!Kennedy recently added a "DOS SHELL" capability, plus the ability to load in ordinary PC files and have the A%}tari read them as though they were DOS 2 copatible files.Write to NICK KENNEDY and enclose an SASE for additional informati%}on and current prices for his PC Software, SIO-2-PC INTERFACE kit, or the "completely assembled and tested" SIO-2-PC INTERFAC%}E (currently only $49.95 US).___________________________________ KE-SOFT =======Mail Order A%}ddress:KE-SOFT,Kemal Ezcan,Frankenstrasse 24,6457 Maintal 4,West GermanyFAX +49-6181-83436This German software fir%}m offers a choice of "BRAND NEW" Atari 8-bit commercial games including DONALD, SAPER, ETERNAL DAGGER, TACTIC, ZADOR II, OGR%}E, ATOMIT II, and TECNO NINJA.
