On this episode of Antic, the Atari 8-bit PODCAST: We look at the Atari 850 interface, the SIO2SD device, and the right cartridge slot --- we strike out with Alan Alda --- and our friend Gray Chang sends us a care package of amazing previously-unreleased books and software.
\nAlso with a great segment by our good friend Bill Kendrick about games converted from the Atari 2600 to the computers. \xa0And, a special segment by Chris Olson about Atari 8-bit emulation on IOS. \xa0It\u2019s an information-packed episode you won\u2019t want to miss!
