Atari Programmers Reference card, etc


Atari8bitCarts

Recommended Posts

I was just rooting through my box of docs too. I was thinking of pulling the staples out of them and scanning them all in. What got me thinking about this was my son and getting him into actually writing programs (he hangs on ROBLOX way too much). What would a new Atari 8-bit user need/expect- a copy of the Basic Reference guide (the little black one that came with XLs), Inside Atari Basic, the DOS 2.5 reference guide etc.. and of course once he knows that he'll need a copy of the SAMs repair manuals etc.. LOL.

 

Then someday I'll have to answer: "I don't know why they didn't think to make the 800XL REV C boards like the D ones at first.. w/o the power jumpers and SIO diode."

I found these and thought someone might know more about them or appreciate an image of them. I have a couple boxes with Atari service manuals, etc.

 

I believe I have the Crystal Computer Products RAM card referenced by the first document in your post. See this thread for more info: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/177885-atari-800-ram-selection/page__st__50

 

I have no documentation on the card. I would appreciate it if you could post a full scan of the document.

I'm not close to a scanner but here are snapshots of the pages for you,I hope this helps.

 

I have to say I am thrilled to learn about the capabilities of this card! (Thank you again!) It came inside an A800 as part of an eBay purchase with no documentation. I knew it was a 256K RAM card, but did not know the purpose of the jumpers or how to wire them. At the risk of being a pest, one last question... On page 3 of the document, there is a reference to a diagram associated with the CDY patch. However, I didn't see a diagram for that modification. Would you have anything else that references the mod?

 

Again, I appreciate you taking the time to post the instructions for me.
