+Allan Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Dammit Albert - I personally need a middle finger icon - just so I can respond to Marty... Curt What is the significance of the date 1972-2006 on the Atarimuseum site? Nothing, 2006 was probably just the last time he updated the site. Isn't that right Curt? Maybe you could do one in asci like on a BBS. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telengard Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Does anyone happen to know how many of these were released? I've read 14 issues total, but there seem to be gaps, at least in my collection (FALL/WINTER '83 and FALL '84). ~telengard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read 14 issues total, but there seem to be gaps, at least in my collection (FALL/WINTER '83 and FALL '84). ~telengard According to vintage-computer there are 16 issues: (http://www.vintage-computer.com/atariconnection.shtml) Vol 1 No 1 Spring 1981 Vol 1 No 2 Summer 1981 Vol 1 No 3 Fall 1981 Vol 1 No 4 Winter 1981/1982 Vol 2 No 1 Spring 1982 Vol 2 No 2 Summer 1982 Vol 2 No 3 Fall 1982 Vol 2 No 4 Winter 1982/1983 Vol 3 No 1 Spring 1983 Vol 3 No 2 Summer 1983 Vol 3 No 3 Fall 1983 Vol 3 No 4 Winter 1983/1984 Vol 4 No 1 Spring 1984 Vol 4 No 2 Summer 1984 Vol 4 No 3 Fall 1984 Vol 4 No 4 Winter 1984 He only has 14 of the 16 - Missing vol 3-4 and 4-3. Micheal Current has 14 but says he has them all.... His list shows only to Vol 4-2 so he is missing vol 4-3 and vol 4-4... Between the two the only one that is unaccounted for would seem to be the Vol 4-3... (http://mcurrent.name/magslist.html). I also have Vol 4-4 so presumably there is a 4-3... I saw an eBay auction that had a pile of Atari Connections where one of them was dated before spring 1981 (red cover) and did not have any volume information so there may be a 17th but obviously that is not confirmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmel_andrews Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I think that ATARI UK had a magazine out as well, only ran for a few issues, I remember seeing a copy in a friends place in putney, I think it had a picture of Paul Daniels (a fairly well known media personality/magician back then) with an Atari 800 unfortunately i can't remember the name of the magazine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+hunmanik Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hi, You say you have 4-4, but if your 4-4 is what vintage-computer calls 4-4, then that's issue #12. They are numbered on the back cover (or least they are up to #14). Winter 1984 ("The Fine Art of Computing") is CO17668-12. Summer 1984 is 'C017668=14', issue #14. Also, the red issue is the Welcome Edition, C017264 REV. 1, © 1981. It was a flyer sent to people who registered their computers, before their first actual issue of Atari Connection would arrive.

First issue was winter 82/83, 5th & final issue was spring 1984. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pulled out my Winter 1984 and it is the only one that does not say the Volume/Number that I have. I must have matched it up with what was on the vintage-computer site for my spreadsheet... So.. The one labeled "Winter 1984 - Fine art of Computing" is actually Winter 1983 and is the missing Vol 3-4 not Vol 4-4 As there is no Vol 4-4 then there probably is not Vol 4-3 as nobody has it.. So Mr. Current was right all along... The list is then: Vol 1 No 1 Spring 1981 Vol 1 No 2 Summer 1981 Vol 1 No 3 Fall 1981 Vol 1 No 4 Winter 1981/1982 Vol 2 No 1 Spring 1982 Vol 2 No 2 Summer 19827 Vol 2 No 3 Fall 1982 Vol 2 No 4 Winter 1982/1983 Vol 3 No 1 Spring 1983 Vol 3 No 2 Summer 1983 Vol 3 No 3 Fall 1983 Vol 3 No 4 Winter 1984 ** Does not list the Volume information ** Vol 4 No 1 Spring 1984 Vol 4 No 2 Summer 1984 14 issue and with the small bonus red magazine 15. Thanks for clearing that up... Sorry everyone for the confusion. Edited May 19, 2009 by ThumpNugget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedEye Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) I just got all 14 regular issues in the mail...I am totally incapable of scanning entire issues, but if there are any specific requests I might be able to fill them! Be sure to PM or email me though, as I'm likely to forget about this thread. EDIT: Also very willing to ship these to a reliable scanner, if anyone is up to the task (and can have people here vouch for them).
