Atari SIO Connectors

Published January 26, 2009

Controller board from an old Atari / Okidata printer. This was sent to me so that I may reuse the SIO connectors on it.

A few months ago I mentioned that I’d like to build an Atari SDrive as an electronics project. Well, one difficulty in doing that was obtaining SIO connectors. Well, thanks to I now possess a controller board from an Okidata printer bearing two SIO ports. Yay! I’ve heard that the Atarimax guy will be selling connectors-only soon, but I’m not sure how true this is, so this will have to do for now.
