I also bought an atari with a tape drive.. so am a bit clueless as I haven't owned an atari for years, these devices I need to use a disk drive at all to boot off etc?
it would be cool if someone would post a table comparing all the things..
I mean should I buy the cart thing with IDE + the sio pc cable?!? or could I just get away with the SIO cable..
and even then , if I use a USB converter on the serial version of it, will that work?!?! (as I have both serial port and usb only laptop)
I saw loads of things, the my-ide cart.. and other ones for SD cards and MMC.. tricky for new folk
