The reason for demise
editSomebody had written his own theory about the demise of Atari ports saying that it had something to do with the rise of the computer mouse. That is not true. Atari ports were used primarily for mouse in computers like Commodore Amiga, Atari ST and Acorn Archimedes. There is no any direct link between using mouse and scrapping Atari port. IBM PCs had always used different kind of ports for controllers and because this standard won the home computer markets, it led to the demise of Atari ports in that domain. --137.163.31.190 (talk) 12:59, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
- I'm looking over the article and I don't see anything like what you describe. Was it removed? Maury Markowitz (talk) 00:34, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

- Looks like a valid complaint to me. I would have to do some real digging to figure out when this was done. I have added references to the appropriate columns, but I would like some advice on making that more elegant.UrQuan3 (talk) 18:17, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
