Atari 8-bit computer peripherals include floppy drives, printers, modems, and video game controllers for Atari's 8-bit computer family, which includes the 400/800, XL, XE, and XEGS. Because the Atari 400/800 8-bit computers were bundled with an RF modulator, stringent FCC regulations limiting radio emissions applied. Consequently, the Atari 400/800 systems internal construction use large metal frames as Faraday cages to prevent emissions. This prevents the use of internal cards to add connections for peripherals.

  • Atari 8-bit computer peripherals include floppy drives, printers, modems, and video game controllers for Atari's 8-bit computer family, which includes the 400/800, XL, XE, and XEGS. Because the Atari 400/800 8-bit computers were bundled with an RF modulator, stringent FCC regulations limiting radio emissions applied. Consequently, the Atari 400/800 systems internal construction use large metal frames as Faraday cages to prevent emissions. This prevents the use of internal cards to add connections for peripherals. To permit easy expansion, Atari developed the SIO (Serial Input/Output) bus. This bus daisy chains together all Atari peripherals into a single string. The Atari computer family was designed to be easy for novice users to expand, with one universal connector plug. Peripherals have their own IDs and can deliver downloadable drivers to the computer during the boot process. However, the additional electronics in these "intelligent" peripherals made them cost more than the "dumb" devices for other systems. (en)
  • Les périphériques informatiques Atari 8 bits incluent les lecteurs de disquettes, les imprimantes, les modulateurs/démodulateurs et les contrôleurs de jeux vidéo pour la famille de micro-ordinateurs 8 bits d'Atari, qui comprend les modèles 400/800, XL, XE et XEGS. Étant donné que les micro-ordinateurs Atari 400/800 8 bits étaient fournis avec un modulateur RF, des réglementations strictes de la FCC limitant les émissions radio s'appliquaient. Par conséquent, la construction interne des systèmes Atari 400/800 utilise de grands cadres métalliques comme cages de Faraday pour éviter les émissions. Cela empêche l'utilisation de cartes internes pour ajouter des connexions pour les périphériques. Pour permettre une extension facile, Atari a développé le bus SIO (Serial Input/Output) ou, traduit littéralement en français, un omnibus ESC (Entrée/Sortie en Cascade). Cette guirlande de bus relie tous les périphériques Atari en une seule chaîne. La famille de micro-ordinateurs Atari a été conçue pour être facile à étendre pour les utilisateurs novices, avec une prise de connecteur universelle. Les périphériques ont leurs propres identifiants et peuvent fournir des pilotes téléchargeables au micro-ordinateur pendant le processus de démarrage. Cependant, l'électronique supplémentaire de ces périphériques "intelligents" les a fait coûter plus cher que les dispositifs "stupides" des autres systèmes. (fr)
  • Questa voce è relativa alla gamma di periferiche disponibili per la Famiglia Atari 8-bit (serie 400/800, XL e XE). Tutte le periferiche Atari usano la porta proprietaria SIO che permette di collegare più periferiche contemporaneamente in un'unica catena. Lo stesso metodo fu usato dagli home computer Commodore dal VIC20 in poi.Queste periferiche erano più costose rispetto a quelle impiegate nello standard IBM. (it)
