AussieAtari Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) Can anyone advise as to the location of the best resource/s on how to connect a XEGS to a Windows or Linux PC so the PC can be used as a storage device for the XEGS? My wife is of the opinion that connecting 8-bit computers to a modern home network is a stupid hobby - incredible!

Almost Rice Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Atarimax www.atarimax.com also has an IDE interface that connects to the cartridge port that could be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 The 1 chip SIO2PC (APE) interface is a must-have. http://www.geocities.com/atarimods/index.html It uses about $8 worth of parts - you can get the 1489 interface chip from DSE, Tandy or Jaycar. I've built 2 already, the first was an external one in a project box. The second one I built into my 130XE. I'm no expert on electronics or soldering, but the second one I built took about 5 hours work (with practice I could probably get it down to 2 or 3).
