Firstly Atari themselves put out several more obscure models beyond the
410/1010/XC11/XC12, generally only known in eastern Europe:

XC13 Program Recorder -XC12 which was "T2000 ready". Czech/Slovak/Poland
Unlike other microcomputer systems of the time period, only Atari-specific
cassette tape recorders could be used with Atari 8-bit computers. Several
such peripherals were produced:
