I've been put of the Atari community for some time. Im looking to get an interface for using flash storage (SD / CF). There are several options out there and I'm a little up in the air about the best route to take.
IDE PLUS 2.0. I really like what I have read about this,, RTC good. SD or CF good. Do these only come naked (no case)? I want my son to use it and dont want it inadvertently shorted.
Atarimax MyIDE II. I like this to. Extra sram a plus, usable in reality? Are there any drawbacks to cartridge based interface? Whats different than the expansion ports? RTC?
Side 2. I like what Ive seen with this as well. Its encased, a bonus. RTC?
For any of them, Here is what I want to do.
1. Use it as a hard drive. Read and write from apps.
2. Portable between XL and. XE.
3. How are disk swaps handled for games that have 2 disks?
4. I want to run SpartaDos, though MyDos would suffice.
5. Needs to be easy enough for a 6 year old since my son will use one too.
Whats the best option for my usage needs?
Thanks in advance!
