[comp.sys.atari.8bit] Looking for stuff.

Hi Gang.

   My uploads will be coming shortly so get those queues ready and clear
out some disk space!!!  

   But first, a couple of questions:

1) Where can I obtain a copy of the "addendum" to the Technical Reference
Notes, which came out when the XL series was introduced?  It covered the
changes from the 400/800 series, as I recall, and I actually held a copy
in my hand ONCE, but I'd like a copy of my own.

2) Is there a source of GTIA chips?  Believe it or not, I have a friend
whose 800 predates GTIA (it has CTIA), and she would like to upgrade it.
I told her I'd ask you guys, so don't let me down!  :-)

Thanks in advance,

Call American Techna-Vision at  1-800-551-9995 and ask them about GTIA
chips.... and tell them you heard about them through AIM Magazine..
 
Their May 1990 ad lists a lot of the ICs for the 8-bit Atari computer..
unfortunately I don't have the part number of the GTIA chip handy.. they
also list a complete set of LSI chips for the 800XL (including the GTIA)
for $16.95...
