Floppy Days Vintage Computing Podcast - A podcast by Randy Kindig

I’m particularly excited to be bringing you this 2-part episode because I will be covering the Atari 400 & 800 computers.  This first episode will cover the history of these machines and next month I will cover Web sites, emulation, books, software, magazines, tech specs, and much more.  Even more exciting, for both episodes I have several special guest hosts helping me cover these topics.  I think you’re going to enjoy these.   Links Mentioned in the Show:   New Acquisitions Raspberry Pi - http://www.raspberrypi.org/ A2CLOUD - http://appleii.ivanx.com/prnumber6/category/a2cloud/ A2SERVER - http://appleii.ivanx.com/a2server/ Apple II Pi - http://schmenk.is-a-geek.com/wordpress/ Arduino - http://www.arduino.cc/ “Collectible Microcomputers” by Michael Nadeau - http://www.amazon.com/dp/0764316001/?tag=flodaypod-20 Network cartridge for the Atari 8-bits by Mark Dusko and Dan Winslow - Antic Interview #21 - (http://ataripodcast.libsyn.com/antic-interview-21-the-atari-8-bit-podcast-dan-winslow-mark-dusko-atari-8-bit-ethernet-project “Landmarks in Digital Computing: A Smithsonian Pictoral History” by Peggy A.
