kaneda23 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I have seen a few recommendations on here for TurboBASIC XL as an alternative to the built-in Atari BASIC? Was it release on cart or disk? I would like to use it on my 800XL, but I do have a SIO2PC cable. Can anyone suggest where I could find it? Thank you.

Curt Vendel Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 You may want to check the umich.edu ftp servers in the atari directory and see if the images may be up there to d/l and sio2pc over to your atari. Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrodegang Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Hi, Was it release on cart or disk? TurboBasic XL by Frank Ostrowski was initially released as a type-in (!) in a german computer magazine (Happy Computer). Later you could buy the program on disk from the publisher of that magazine. Many hacks have been made by users: I have a 600XL where TurboBasic XL is built in, for example. A compiler for TurboBasic XL and a version for 400/800 computers is available somewhere as well. Andre Btw., Frank Ostrowski is the author of GfA-Basic for Atari ST also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avram Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Page 6 magazine in the UK ran a series of tutorials on this language but I don't think the issues they feature in have been uploaded to www.page6.org yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prixon Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Gordon Cameron's Turbo Basic tutorial series started in Page 6 issue 36. Unfortunately it will be some time before that's online - I'm currently working on issue 25 with a site update planned before Christmas.
