[net.general] Programing the Atari 2600?

I have an Atari 2600 sitting under my TV, and it has occured to me more than
once that it might be neat to be able to write my own games/programs for it.
I have the ability to program and burn my own proms but the problem is that 
I haven't the slightest idea what's inside the darn thing.  Does anyone out
there know what processor the 2600 uses, where the ram and rom reside in
memory, or where I can get the info. I need to create my own cartriges?
