Q's on flash carts/multi-carts...

[Tifany]

Hey guys!

 

I was wondering if there is a USB flash/multi-cart available... I mean that you can just plug the cart into a USB slot and drag and drop the games you want into the cart, then just plug that into your 8-bit atari?? Ive seen that Classics has something like that for both the 5200 and the colecovision, but i dont see anything quite like that for the 8-bit. I know most other flash/multi-carts use the SIO2PC software. Right now my laptop I use for everything doesnt even have a serial port on it... I know that i can get an adaptor to add a serial through the USB, but really, if im going to have to have the laptop right next to the atari, then I may as well just keep using emulation with my stella adaptor.

 

Im asking all this because I lost my old disk drive and all my disk software and carts in a flooded basement a few years ago. I bought a new 800xl not too long ago, but still havent gotten any software for it. right now it looks great sitting on a TV stand, but its not good for much else! Id really like to get some use out of the thing without having to resort to finding a new Ddrive or go shopping for carts. Guess ive been too spoiled with the current state of emulation.

 

Anyways, Thanks for any help you guys may give me!
