Why do we keep developing new
products for the 8-bit Atari computers you ask? The easy answers are that
we like what we are doing, we still have many positive ideas to contribute
to the 8-bit Atari world, and developing these products from concept
through production is really exciting! While those are partially the
reasons, the true answer is that more Atari users are buying our products
than ever before!
The ICD Multi I/O board (MIO) is a cumulation
of all the great ideas you have asked us to develop. (Yes we do look at
your suggestions.) It plugs into the parallel bus of the 800XL or the
130XE (with adapter) and provides: a RAMDISK, a printer port, a MODEM
port, a printer buffer, a flexible hard disk interface, and built in
configurations software to control it all. An optional 'hardware' 80
column adapter is also available. About the only other thing you could
want is a floppy interface. With the hard drive and large RAMDISK it would
be an unnecessary added expense. Most users already have one SIO floppy
drive and even that will get little use after using the MIO.
When you fill out your warranty/update card you
will also be added to our newsletter mailing list. This will keep you up
to date on new products and developments as well as providing general
information about our company and our full product line. MODEM users may
also want to try out our informative ICD BBS. It is online 24 hours a day
running 300/1200/2400 baud at (815) 968-2229. There are no charges for
this service other than the standard long distance phone rates.
