From The Verge: The success of the NES Classic and also the Raspberry Pi as a retro gaming board clearly made Atari sit up and take notice. The result is the Ataribox, which we still know very little about. However, this week Atari revealed a little bit more about the exterior of its forthcoming new hardware.
According to The Verge, there will be two versions of the Ataribox released. One will use a case design featuring the classic wood look of the Atari 2600. The other will use a black and red design. Both will have a ribbed case and a front panel of either wood or glass with indicator LEDs shining through as well as a lit Atari logo.
On the back of the Ataribox you'll find four USB ports, a HDMI port, an SD card slot, power out, and what looks like an Ethernet port.
It looks as though the only difference between these two versions of the Ataribox will be the case design. But there's no detail on what we will find inside the case and not even Atari seems to know just yet. In a statement the company explained, "We're not teasing you intentionally; we want to get this right, so we've opted to share things step by step as we bring this to life, and to listen closely to the Atari community feedback as we do so."
