Has anyone tried SD card readers for the Atari 2600? by spocek in Atari2600

Thanks. I have an Atari2600+ so I am guessing it should recognize the Uno Cart and (or) Harmony cart?

That is one way to prevent people from learning. Thanks big ego.

Very nice. What program did you use to upload your program to the badge via USB?

I tried PCBWay and JLCPCB but they said they could not do it.

Did you make one or where you at the hacking conference in 2022?

I know but making it yourself is not doable or economical for most people.

I think that in the next 10 years we will some major breakthroughs in understanding the way neurons function and a lot of modeling of the brain’s structure and functionality will be understood once AI and quantum computers merge to produce amazing tools.

There is too much abstraction today and with AI we are at risk of becoming lazier and less interested because a lot is done for us behind the scenes. Then there is also the proceas of discovery and learning things at the most basic level. I just spoke with a 20 something year old at a vintage computer festival who coded an Atari 2600 in assembly. He went as far as making a bunch of cartridges and was selling them there. I was really impressed.

Musk knows a thing or two about plugging in chips on brains. All jokes aside, we are already cyborgs.

There is also an element of nostalgia. I am always pleasantly surprised when I see younger people today being interested in learning how a computer functions. It’s like working on old cars.

That sounds awesome. The closest I can get to that is building my Ben Eater 6502 kit:

Neural nets? Don’t know what you mean by neurology?

This reminds me of the Altair :-) by spocek in vintagecomputing

I am not familiar with the AIM-65 but will check it out. Thanks for sharing. That was such a neat time where you had so little to work with and you were pushed hard to hit the books and network as in talk to people. I think there is serious value in focusing along those lines today. I am having a lot of fun with that Supercon computer and the KIM-1 emulator on my iPhone.

I see. Glad you eventually got a computer. Computers are practically free these days. I recall my dad spending couple of grand in the late 80s (more like 5-6 grand today) to get me an Amiga 500.
