Proud to say that my knowledge of how nuclear reactors work comes from the actual Atari 400 when I was 6-7 years old. Mushy membrane keyboard lol

"Play games you own via a USB flash drive with disk, cartridge and cassette ROMs compatibility" - How do you load the roms from CASSETTE to the device. I've done this on a TI-99.

ROMs and images are available all over the Internet that you can put onto a USB flash drive, though some will question the legality of that. Search for Atarimania, which tends to be one of the more frequent sites.

Personally, I've bought a few of these retro-type things in the past. They are fun for reliving old memories, but after maybe a few days or hours, I tend to forget about them, and they end up collecting dust after that.

Though I suspect that down the road, I'll pull them out for another walk down memory lane and simpler times!

You have to hand it to Atari: They know their audience.🤓

On an unrelated note, I miss Radio Shack.

Same here, but the OG Radio Shack, where you could pick up a Forest Mims handbook and go hog with their discrete circuit components, not the cell phone mall kiosk it was when it died.

A few of the links are dead, but there are tools that work with Atari audio storage:

When I was 10 yrs old, my father gave me an 99/4A. It is the best gift I've ever had

The fact it has no membrane keyboard is a deal killer for me..
It would have cost next to nothing to add a keyboard.
The original was terrible to type on, why would anybody want to type on a shrunken down version that would be on a miniature recreation?

And I disagree that it would have cost next to nothing to add the keyboard. It would have been a useless feature, added to the cost and been a bad idea.​

I was a kid when the original Atari 400 was around and I hated that keyboard so much that I managed to talk my parents into buying me an Atari 800 instead.

It would be an instabuy for me, on nostalgia alone. Delivering newspapers in middle school got me an 800xl, then the tape drive, and finally the disk drive back in the day.
