What is the best single peripheral made for the Atari (past and present)?

Actually I do talk about what I am doing on the Atari quite often on AA. And although I have done a little bit of programming on it, I do much more of that with a PC under Linux. Which is also what I use for most all of my computer activities, some of which you mentioned. So what do I use the Atari for? Well for me it is a fun platform to hack hardware on, and to try to make it do things it never could before, or maybe just better than before. That to me is the 'game', or perhaps it would better be called the adventure. At any rate, it is what I enjoy.

That's fine. You should keep your Ataris and you can stay :thumbsup:

 

For you, the CX40 may not be 'best' or even an important peripheral, but, if Atari had not figured out how to make an inexpensive, comfortable, intuitive interface to the 2600, there would have been no 400/800 for us to play with.

My faves....

 

Past: Happy 1050

 

Now: IDEPlus (and a Happy 1050)

 

Though to be fair, I like most of the available peripherals.... SIO2SD, Touch Tablet, the 1020 plotter, the Atari 850, AtariLab interface, I can't think of too many things that sucked. I'm tempted to get another 1020, I had a blast with mine as a kid. Same with the ill-fated AtariLab. I can't imagine 1020 pens being very obtainable now though.
