+wood_jl Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 As someone who has done a whole lot of archival scanning - size is largely irrelevant these days, and original image capture preserves the uniqueness of the works while underlaid OCR provides most of the search functionality one could want. It's not always 100% perfect for text cut and paste, but it is often very good. Amen for your work, man. You have done a hell of a job archiving stuff.

russg Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Seems a most important reference is missing. I guess it would be a manual, maybe why not included. 'Technical Reference Notes'. There are a few others, DOS II listing. 800XL Field Service Manual. For understanding the inner workings of our Atari, the Technical Reference Notes is superb. The Technical Reference Notes maybe, probably, already available OCR'd somewhere. I'll look around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjc082071 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 For anybody (still interested (this post is over a year old) who doesn't want to download the entire torrent, here is a website with many of the same books available for individual download. http://ftp.pigwa.net/stuff/collections/Atari%208-bit%20Books/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenjennings Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I'm at 3%. 3 days left to download. There must be a faster corner of the internet closer to me. (And I get 10Mbs with Comcast). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have it quickly Hey, it finished overnight instead of several days from now. Thanks to you and all other seeders. I left my client running today and it returned nearly 100% to others while I was at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagChris Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Was there any published corrections for any of these books? I'm running into some misprint/errors in the Advanced Atari Basic Tutorial. I'm using the paperback not the PDF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
