OK, here is the manual - sorry about the poor quality. Millionaire Manual.pdf

I have a bad photocopy of the manual which I will scan and create a pdf which I will upload later tonight (US time). It is 19 pages.

C.R.I.S. is available at Atarimania at http://www.atarimania.com/utility-atari-400-800-xl-xe-cris-cash-register-inventory-system_31578.html

After you sign up for Atarimania, get into the "Forum", particularly the "MIA" thread. Atari Frog is the moderator and will verify which titles they are missing. There are "wanted" software lists, but these are old (2004 I believe). I've communicated with Atari Frog myself. He has been helpful, but sometimes very busy so it might take some time for him to get back to you.

I'm interest in the disk images. I have some of these (most of AEC and PDI disks), but not others. Several of these seem to be on Atarimania's "missing" list. Much appreciated.

From you list, you have at least three programs that I've not seen available anywhere that should be archived for the Atari community (e.g. with Atarimania). These three are Video Billboard (which you've listed as Video Bilboard), Virgin's Race, and Wordmania. I would be very interested in .atr's of these programs. Geo

So far so good. There were two files on the disk: DISKDIS.V22 and CUSTOM.BAS I was able to successfully run CUSTOM.BAS although haven't executed all the menu options. DISKDIS.V22 appears to contain at least the Memory Map field "Labels" e.g. CASINI, RAMLO etc. used in a disassembly. Wish I had the instructions, but will have to play around with it some. Could be a bad sector on the original disk as Teledisk appears to have supported some copy protection schemes. Again a BIG thanks !

Thanks, appreciate your efforts. Didn't think that this would be easy. Regards George

I've been looking for some time for Adventure International's Ultra-Disassember. It is not available on Atarimania or other sites that I can find. There is a TeleDisk file "backup", 800dasm.td0, available at the Don Maslin's Disk Image Archive, at http://www.retroarchive.org/maslin/disks/atari/index.html Although the Teledisk (MS-DOS) executable is available on the internet (see below), I've been unsuccessful with my equipment to recreate the disk let alone an "atr" or "atx". Does anyone have this utility or want to take a shot at decompressing the 800dasm.tdo file ? Some info on Teledisk is available at http://www.classiccmp.org/dunfield/img54306/teledisk.htm and the teledisk executable etc is available at ftp://ftp.pigwa.net/stuff/collections/holmes%20cd/Holmes%202/PC%20Atari%20Utils/Teledisk%20Pro/index.html Thanks !

All eight Demopacs have been scanned and are available on Scribd. Enjoy!

I've just found eight ( old Atari 8-bit Demopacs (from Atari) on programming. They cover the following topics: 1. Strings and Formatting - I've posted this one on Scribd at http://www.scribd.com/doc/31438242/Atari-8-Bit-Demopac-1-Strings-and-Formatting 2. Data File Processing 3. Programming Examples 4. Atari Color Graphics 5. Advanced Graphics 6. Advanced Systems Features 7. Some Special Features 8. Software and Hardware TImers If anyone is interested in these let me know and I'll scan the rest and put them up on Scribd. According to http://books.google.com/books?id=jC4EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA48&lpg=PA48&dq=atari+demopac&source=bl&ots=jO41oWVcbT&sig=6mceHiGyOteQgcWCE9M2iCdMEQs&hl=en&ei=OxPwS_PTHZ_IM7aO9N8P&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CBkQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=atari%20demopac&f=false there appears to be other DemoPac, i.e. three on LOGO: #9 a resource guide, #10 a printer pac, and #11 useful programs illustrating list processing. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THESE IF ANYONE HAS THEM ! Thanks!

I tried it with Atari800Win Plus 3.1 as XL/XE 64K NTSC disabled Basic and SIO patch. Used "new" ROM and "Extension" disk and got Title screen (see attachment), but ultimately it goes to Self Test menu or Atari Memo Pad (e.g. if use OS-B).

I'm at 96% complete and would greatly appreciate if anyone could seed me the rest. I'll then take up the banner and seed for others. THANKS

Did SSI ever create an ST version of Eternal Dagger or Cinemaware create an ST version of The Three Stooges?? I thought that back in the day that I had copies of both of these.

Here is a partial index. BellcomDisks.txt

Any Chicagoland Atarians interested in a WORKING Atari 1040ST with original boxes and cables, but no manuals. Moving and need to get rid of it w/i next 30 days. Atari 1040ST, 3 1/2" DD Floppy Drive, Two-Button Mouse SC 1224 Color Monitor Spectre 128 Cartridge including Mac ROMs Some original disks (e.g. Current Notes, games etc.) Will include about 500 disks of various stuff. Asking $50 or make me an offer. If interested, e-mail me here or at GeoHolub@yahoo.com

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Chicago, the Windy City and it sure was yesterday with wind gusts over 60 mph!! A 25 year or so Atarian!

Did you know that Backgammon cheats! Back in the day while playing Backgammon, I was trouncing the 2600. I had all my men on the inner board and had just put at least one of the 2600's men on the bar. It was the 2600's turn and it rolled double-9s !!! It eventually won the game - I was pissed!! I was able to recreate the situation using the set-up mode and took a picture of it and sent it off to Atari. I did get a letter back - I think that they blamed on a programming error - but it had to be something that the programmer did on purpose since a 9 on a die was not normal. I've been trying to reproduce the "error" using Stella (I no longer have my 2600), but haven't got it yet. If someone else wants to try - let me know if you succeed.

You are correct - the disks are not copy protected. The disks I have are both Magic Sac and Spectre format. I believe that these may be different than normal Atari ST or PC format. I knew that Pasti was able to handle Twister formated disks so I just tried Pasti first where Makedisk couldn't. Pasti was able to create an image which worked. Perhaps I could have just used a utility like Makedisk, but I tried Pasti first and it worked. I may go back and try Makedisk. Regards, Geo

Happy 4th (almost) to all, Just an FYI if anyone is interested, I was able to dump my Spectre 128 cartridge and used Pasti software to move some Mac software including my Current Notes disks from my Atari 1040ST onto my PC. I now have Mac software running on Spectre on the Steem emulator with Pasti dll and configured with the Spectre 128 cartridge image. I already use Basilisk II, but this is fun anyway.

I have the Atari Pilot language cartridge and the "Student Pilot" manual. It mentions, but does not explain the "%" commands. I have been able to figure out some of the them, e.g. "%J0" for the joystick and "%T8" for the joystick trigger, but need some help. What are %A, %M, and %Z used for? Also can someone confirm whether or not %F can be used to determine the amount of free memory available? This information should be in Atari's "Pilot Primer" book, but I don't have it and can't find it. Thanks!
