Who has a 7800 dev card?

[+selgus]

It's possible that either Atari didn't have a whole lot of cards initially, OR Atari wanted too much money for the cards and development environment.

This was an issue back in the early days, the cost of development cards were very high. SRAM wasn't cheap back then, and they also wanted to make up the R&D they put into the consoles. I remember on the Genesis, we rolled our own development boards.

I had to bump this old thread to say I now have both the 2600 and 7800 dev cards!

Where did you get the 7800 dev card from?

I've had it for a long time, I think I got it from Best Electronics. The 2600 dev card is the one I just picked up.
