Pictures from the Indianapolis Vintage Computer Club meeting on May 20, 2023.
The Atari 8-bit expands into the world of standards and 15 kHz doesn’t have to hurt your wallet anymore.

![Simon's TI-99/4A is fitted with a the Speech Synthesizer module and a Navarone cartridge expander.](https://petzel.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ivcc20230520_IMG_5066-1024x768.jpg)
![Simon's cost-reduced model TI-99/4A doesn't want to output video today. It may be frightened of the RCA prison TV that it is connected to.](https://petzel.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ivcc20230520_IMG_5067-1024x768.jpg)
![Chris is demonstrating the crisp S-Video output of a new sub $20 conversion device on his Atari 1040ST.](https://petzel.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ivcc20230520_IMG_5073-1024x768.jpg)
![This low cost wonder is the Retrocastle "General VGA (15khz) to composite & S-video adapter." Using it requires a separate cable for connecting to a VGA monitor, but instead connect to this device to get S-video output.](https://petzel.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ivcc20230520_IMG_5068-1024x768.jpg)
![Graphics output in S-video is also very good through this converter.](https://petzel.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ivcc20230520_IMG_5074-1024x768.jpg)
![Randy's Atari 800 is connected to a ATR8000, which is an original expansion device for the Atari 8-bit computers.](https://petzel.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ivcc20230520_IMG_5078-1024x768.jpg)
![The ATR8000 connects to the Atari via SIO cable. It expands I/O options such as adding standard disk drives, as seen here. It contains a Z80 processor and 64 kB of RAM which can run CP/M!](https://petzel.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ivcc20230520_IMG_5079-1024x768.jpg)
![The rear of the ATR8000 shows that along with being an SIO passthrough, it adds RS-232 serial, standard floppy drive I/O, and a Centronics printer interface. The 64 kB of RAM can be used as a print buffer.](https://petzel.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ivcc20230520_IMG_5083-1024x768.jpg)
![Yet another ability of the ATR8000 is 80 column text display mode.](https://petzel.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ivcc20230520_IMG_5084-1024x768.jpg)
![Randy's newly acquired Atari Mega STE is being under-utilized at the moment.](https://petzel.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ivcc20230520_IMG_5085-1024x768.jpg)
