StanJr Posted September 22, 2001 Share Posted September 22, 2001 I'm looking for a copy of the TIA hardware manual online. The Stellalist gives a URL for it, but the link does not work. Anybody know where I can find another one, or a better link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBoris Posted September 22, 2001 Share Posted September 22, 2001 You can get it from my page: http://atarihq.com/danb/a2600.html Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted September 22, 2001 Author Share Posted September 22, 2001 Thanks Dan. I've had your page bookmarked for some time. Am I overlooking the manual somewhere? Can't seem to locate it? Puzzled Stan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBoris Posted September 23, 2001 Share Posted September 23, 2001 Just goto the link above, scroll down to "Atari 2600 Technical Files" and click on "Stella Programmers Guide". Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted September 24, 2001 Author Share Posted September 24, 2001 I'm getting an error message when I try to download. "File cannot be repaired." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgb Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 I'm looking for the TIA Hardware Manual as well. If you find it can you let me know. If I find it I will let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgb Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Dan, this is the STELLA Programmer's Guide. I think both Stan and myself are looking for the actual TIA Hardware Manual, or at least I am. Steve Wright refers to the TIA Harware Manual within the note located in Sec. 3.2 of Programmer's Guide. Do you know where I can find this???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted September 24, 2001 Author Share Posted September 24, 2001 YES! That is it. I have said Stella Guide, but I'm looking for the TIA manual referenced within. Where can it be found? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBoris Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Ah, ok, I don't think that document has ever surfaced. Atari-History.com has managed to come up with Hardware Manuals for a couple other Atari chips, to may someday they will run across this one.

Nukey Shay Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 It sounds like the Stella guide may be more in-depth anyway. http://datahavenproject.com/~sloppy/classi...2600Programming BTW anyone seen this? (a little piece of Atari history)... http://www.willowsp.u-net.com/andy/atari/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBoris Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 The hardware manual probably details the chip from a hardware engineers persepctive as opposed to the programmers perspective in the Stella Guide. It probably contains detials on signal timing, pinouts, voltage specification, etc. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted September 25, 2001 Author Share Posted September 25, 2001 I was looking for it from a programmer standpoint, but was hoping it would have some details I am missing. Oh well. I'll find what I need elsewhere. Thanks anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgb Posted September 26, 2001 Share Posted September 26, 2001 That is what I'm looking for ... pinouts, timing, voltages all that hardware stuff. I'm trying to recreate my own Atari but with a faster microprocessor. I'm not worried about the programming part, just the hardware part.
