Does the Atari 8-bit have to be hooked up to the PC somehow? 887632[/snapback] You need an SIO2PC or 1050toPC cable that will connect your Atari or Atari disk drive to the PC and a program on the PC to make the 2 communicate. Go to Atarimax for the most popular interface and software for doing this. There is a one-piece interface that works as both an SIO2PC and 1050toPC adapter for transfering Atari disks into ATR disk images that can be used in an Atari emulator. The software that goes with it is APE (Atari Peripheral Emulator). APE allows you to use your PC as if it were most any type of peripheral you could hook up to your Atari. It acts as your disk drive(s), printer, hard drive and much more. Instead of hooking up your Atari drive to your computer and using a disk, you hook the Atari to your PC and use APE to act like the disk drive. Just select a disk image in APE to load and turn on your Atari. Let's just say it's like having an ICD MIO or a Black Box on steroids!!
