My current goal is to acquire Atari Game-Writing and general documentation. I'd be interested in getting De Re Atari, a Dos II Reference Manual, miscellaneous "COMPUTE!" and or/other similar books that address just about anything Atari. My foci of interest include info about eprom burning, economical cartridge production, tutorial documents with nice illustrations and sample asm source about game-related techniques, etc. I already have the Atari OS and Hardware reference manuals and sufficient documents on assembly language itself. I have already decided on a Pseudo-Sam Cross Assembler that runs on by PC compatible, and am successfully uploading binary to my Atari over the 850 interface, for decent edit-compile-run turn-around (as my binary is always <8K, for small cartdridge development) times. This is only about 2 minutes for a full 8K binary. Please email me about any docs and suggested prices you wish for them, with perhaps some comments. If there is interest, I will post your mini-reviews on these documents (or send me a mini-review even if you do not want to sell your document). Thanks! Rob Phillips homxc!rvp 201-949-0271

Rob Phillips asks about Atari documentation... B&C ComputerVisions in Santa Clara, CA lists De Re Atari at $10.00 in their ad in the last issue of ANALOG magazine. Their phone number is: (408) 749-1003 They also list the XE-Game Machine for $99.95... as well as a full page of 8-bit software.. there are two other companies advertising in that issue of ANALOG, with a good selection of Atari 8-bit hardware and software, to answer another question that was asked earlier about mail-order sources...
