XL12 Program Recorder      -XC12 w/slight changed design. Czech/Slovak/Poland
XC13 Program Recorder      -XC12 which was "T2000 ready". Czech/Slovak/Poland

Unlike other microcomputer systems of the time, it was very unusual to use
anything but Atari-brand program cassette recorders.  One third-party product
released was the:

Compu-Mate, by General Electric (GE, G.E.)
Includes external interface module, a power cord/adapter, and SIO cable.
No second SIO port - must be at end of SIO chain.
