It's a peripheral for an Atari 8-bitter, typically
used with the Atari 800.
It's used to interface 8 inch drives to the Atari, and to run CP/M.
Yep, just found some info on the web... Maybe I'll go grab an 800 now. Is
the 800 or the 800XL better? the XL is quite a bit smaller... But I think
the plain old 800 has connectors that match the cable on the ATR8000.
Anyways, the ATR8000 is one interesting box. Lets you run CP/M, can handle
up to four 5.25" or 8" drives, and has the serial and printer ports...
Interesting little box!
