It goes in the Atari's cartridge port, a little-used connector on the
side of the machine. Used an unusual type of edge connector, and
hardly any software was supplied on cartridges. Some sound samplers
used it, though. I think the signals available were read-only,
fine for ROMs, but preventing the use of the slot for most types
of peripherals.
