Whizzo Software - SIO2Arduino edit / delete

"SIO2Arduino is an Atari 8-bit (800/XL/XE) device emulator that runs on the Arduino platform. It currently emulates a single Atari 1050 disk drive (D1:) but there are plans to extend it to support multiple drives as well as other devices." I've been meaning to build one of these for my Atari 800 for, oh, fifteen years now...

Hardcore Gaming 101 - Blog: Over 1800 Atari VCS games trawled for hidden stuff! edit / delete

Apparently quite a few 2600 games include chunks of source code -- or other data, e.g. Apple or Atari ROMs -- in their cartridge image, presumably for the same reason that the Amiga Kickstart disk did. Interesting in itself, but it also reveals what development systems were being used.

Atari - Best Electronics Home edit / delete

Spare parts for Atari machines. My 800 needs a new keyboard at some point! Apparently they were a very big buyer of Atari surplus in the 80s and 90s...

The semi-official programmer's guide to the Atari 8-bit machines. The most interesting chapter these days is Chris Crawford's one on how to actually make good games.
