See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge USB flash drives are NAND-type flash memory data storage devices integrated with a USB (universal serial bus) interface. They are typically small, lightweight, removable and rewritable. ==> SIO2USB, by ABBUC Regional Group Frankfurt / Main The SIO2USB Interface is a peripheral device that can be attached to an ATARI 8-bit computer using the SIO-Bus. It emulates one or more ATARI Floppy- Drive(s) and does not require any special drivers or Operating-Systems, it is fully compatible with all ATARI DOS Systems and extensions. Because the device is connected to the SIO-Bus, it is not necessary to open or modify the ATARI. The device is powered by the SIO-Bus and does not need an external Power Adapter. The data are stored on standard USB Mass Storage Devices (USB FLASH Drives) as ATARI-Imagefiles (ATR or XFD) on a standard FAT filesystem. SIO2USB features: o Can boot an ATARI 8-bit Computer without physical Floppy Drive o Emulation of up to 3 (virtual) Disk drives simultaneously o Simple device, attached to SIO-Port, no modification of computer necessary o Mixed operation of real Floppy and SIO2USB possible o Fully compatible with all ATARI DOS and OS and all ATARI compatible extensions o Storage of ATARI-Imagefiles on standard USB FLASH Drives o Configuration of the device by built-in keys and LC-Display or configuration program on the ATARI o Built-in Real Time Clock (RTC) o Power supply for the device and USB FLASH Drive from SIO-Bus o Updated SIO2USB Firmware can be applied from within the ATARI (no additional device or computer required) o Updates available via Internet (USB FLASH Drive) or direct from the ATARI (real Disk Drive) http://home.arcor.de/grasel/sio2usb_e.htm or http://home.arcor.de/grasel/sio2usb_d.htm User Contributions:Top Document: Atari 8-Bit Computers: Frequently Asked Questions Previous Document: 3.10) How can I use SD/MMC cards with my Atari?
