I've heard of similar devices for the 8 bit Ataris, although I don't believe quite as intuitive. It's certainly a concern of mine, considering some of my game floppies for my Atari 800 are as old as I am. It's a great idea, something I'll need to look into myself.

Ya, I hacked an iOpener and used it, running Windows, with the Atari 800 serial cable device. It doesn't work so well. My main Atari 8-bit emulator has been the Dreamcast for a while now, but now that I've found the GP2X (video here, it handles almost all of my emulation needs. Not bad for $169.

Arn just picked one up as well.
