ANTIC The Atari 8-bit Podcast

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.

Also with a great segment by our good friend Bill Kendrick about games converted from the Atari 2600 to the computers.  And, a special segment by Chris Olson about Atari 8-bit emulation on IOS.  It’s an information-packed episode you won’t want to miss!
