ssquire Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 In some of my Atari stuff, my dad gave me an Atari 850 interface. Can anyone tell me what the point of this is?? I don't ever remember seeing it hooked up to anything, so I have no clue what it is for.... sherri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Jefferson Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 It gives you two serial ports and one parallel port, if I remember correctly. I think that you need special cables since the size and pinout of the ports on the 850 are not standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 It provides RS-232 serial ports and a parallel interface. Basically it's for connecting 3rd-party modems and printers. -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
