Atari 8-bits Memory Inventory

[+MrFish]

Actually, I'm championing 16K here FTW; with hopes of eventually getting it whittled down to 8K or even the originally-slated 4K of the 400.

Then I'll release my new "Subatomic Partical DOS", which utilizes illegal opcodes, hidden memory locations, ultra-uber compression,

telekinesis, alchemy, the blarney stone, and coding techniques derived from readings of Lewis Carroll novels and consorting with

extraterrestrials (read: little green men) and leprechauns.

Fake news. There's no thing like an illegal opcode.

Ah, my mistake; I meant quantum optoelectric opcodes. Big difference.

Much better. Now it makes sense.

RamJet was done by John K. Picken. I remember the difficulties I had to receive the UUEncoded file on my BBS back then, which doesn't support the backslash character. Speaking of J.K.P, It's been way too long I heard anything from him. I fear for the worst.

I received confirmation recently from Ted Skrecky of G.C.A.C.E. that John passed away in 2018:
