+David_P Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Interesting looking SIO device on EBay (together with an Atari Basic cart in a dual ZIF socket board). eBay Auction -- Item Number: 360292542977 ... if only the seller shipped outside the USA!

Pac-Man Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Looks like one Turbo Tape interface. I see also one stereo-plug for use it with tape deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pac-Man Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Or self made speech synthesizer like Voice Master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Is there any reason to doubt the theory stated...that it is an interface to use commercial tape recorders instead of a 410/1010? The PCB could be a hack of Atari's Basic that corrects some rev.A glitches. There were lots of people that did this on their own after the bugs had been documented...well before Atari released their own rev.C cartridge (prompted by the rev.B fiasco).

Pac-Man Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) In the 80th in east europe many users had not enought west german mark for the 1050 disk drive. I know two types of turbo tape interface for use with commercial tape recorder but you need not many parts so i prefer the voice master theory.

Pac-Man Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Sorry, Voice Master is wrong. It have a joystick plug. The Voice Box have the sio plug. The turbo tape interface have a 5 pol. phono jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
