My family's first computer was an Atari 800. I used the hell out of that thing as a kid, eventually even adding an aftermarket floppy disk drive that was dual-sided and double-density, storing an incredible 360kb per disk, vs the Atari 810's 90kb / disk.
The interesting thing about the serial I/O system is that it was auto-configuring - plug and play, in 1978! - and supported many different types of peripherals without having to manually load drivers or extra software. It acted a lot like the first version of USB - and Joe Decuir, the guy who designed it, also did significant work on USB decades later.
PCs wouldn't get an interface this nice until USB hit the platform in the 1990s.
