I am looking to do some Assembly programming for the Atari 800. I've got a copy of Atari Roots, De Re Atari, Atari Assembler cartridge and the MAC/65 cartridge so I think I am ready to go - at least when working from my Atari 800. I would also like to work from an emulator on my laptop, but I can't seem to find a combination of assembler and emulator that work together. I've tried the Atari Assembler ROM file with several emulators without success. I've also tried the Mac/65 atr, but it doesn't seem to have the debugger (no OS/A+, perhaps?). I see myself moving to a cross assembler eventually, but I'd like to work from an emulator and the machine for a while. I'd appreciate any comments that you may have.

I just ordered the SIO2PC adapter to connect my Atari800 to a PC. I am considering using the case from my failed 1050 floppy drive as a case for the PC to which I would attach the Atari800. It looks like you can get embedded 486 cards that would easily fit into the 1050 case, but I've never done anything like this so I don't really know if or how it might work. Has anyone tried using these embedded cards to do anything similar and are there any reasons that I wouldn't be able to do this? Are there any resources that you're familiar with that might be useful. I appreciate your thoughts.

Sorry...

I need to get rid of the following items and would rather give them to someone who can put them to use as opposed to tossing them out. Let me know if you would like any of the following items. I am only charging the cost of shipping. None of these items are tested. an OS card for the Atari 800 no casing a 16k card for the Atari 800 no casing miscellaneous parts from serveral failed 1050 floppy drives Atari 800 flip cover Several BASIC cartridges Atari 1050 DOS 2.5: 1050 Owners manual Instruction booklet to Infocom's Zork I Atari 400/800 Disk Operating System II Reference Manual Dongle, instructions and outer pkging to PaperClip word processor (no disks) Atari 400 Program Recorder Owner's Guide A copy of DeRe Atari Book: Atari Sounds and Graphics - A Self Teaching Guide Home Pack from Batteries Included Instructions and Disk Introduction booklet to Atari Dos 3 Don't Panic instruction booklet Micropainter Instruction booklet I can provide a photo via e-mail if you'd like. I am mrtuberhead on e-bay if you would like to check my feedback.

I would be interested in hearing what types of projects you've seen, heard about, done, or considered doing with your 8-bit that aren't game related. Are there any cool things that an 8-bit can do that are somewhat practical or useful beyond nostalgia? The ones I've thought of have been: automatically operate an electric train set use it to work with the Lego Robots connect to weather sensors your thoughts, please...

I bought a pocket PC in 2002 and learned that there were emulators built for it. It took me a minute to realize that a Pocket PC is a lot more powerful than even the big 8-bit computers and could certainly run an emulator. Emulation to me was always in the context of terminal emulation before that.

A friend gave me a 2600 and some carts that included crazy climber. As a thank you, I told him I would sell the crazy climber cart and give him the proceeds. It ended up going for $70. We both ended up pretty happy.

What's the best way to use the Atari with a 15-pin monitor instead of a television - or can you point me to a location where this is discussed? I am currently using an ATI TV card in my PC then sending the Atari output to the TV card, but it's doesn't give that great of a picture - although it's suitable for watching TV. Is there a TV card that will give me a better picture or some other hardware that works well?

That is an original box. I still have mine and it looks just like that. However, I'm almost certain it came with an outer cardboard just like the floppy drives did.

I need to reduce the amount of Atari items I have in my basement. They are as follows: Working Atari 800 with a cleanly drilled hole near the kb. An Atari 600xl and 800xl Parts from an Atari 800 Parts from 2 floppy drives Copy of De Re Atari Atari 400 for parts c-380 Video pinball (doesn't power up) original box SynFile w/docs The atari number pad Creative computing magazines 1027 printer Ape Face printer cable A few Atari memory cards w/o the casing Joysticks (most are at least somewhat beat up) I would be happy to trade for any items related to assembly or other cool programming items (PILOT w/docs) etc., the items needed to connect an Atari 800 to a pc. I would also consider trading for other Atari niceties. The only thing is, the size of the item you receive has to take up more space than the item I receive. If you'd like to see any of these items I'd be happy to e-mail pics.

I have them in boxes, but they're opened. I would say they are in very good, but not perfect shape. I'd be happy to e-mail pics.

Here are three items for Atari computer enthusiasts that I recently put up for auction: An Atari 810 drive in excellent condition: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3006915428&rd=1 Two creative computing mags: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3006534321&rd=1 My spare Atari computer system with two drives: (I promised myself I would only keep two Atari computers and 1 Atari 2600) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3401236918&rd=1

My experience is very similar. As a kid, all my friends had Atari 2600's and I'd get an occaisional chance to play, but I never had my own system. I finally bought an Atari 800 in 1982. Now that I have a few dollars in my pocket I am collecting what I would consider a reasonable collection for myself, but it takes up space and I've ended buying more than I really need. So I've tried to limit myself to two boxes of Atari 800 items and two boxes of Atari 2600 items. My next step is to get an emulator on my PC and pocket PC so that those boxes can be put away. But I'm going to keep an Atari 800 and a 2600 because every once in a while, I'd like to pull out the original. There is a point though, where in reclaiming some of my lost childhood, I have reclaimed it and no longer need to focus on it quite as much. And that's the beauty of having collected them - I've experienced much of what I was looking for and I've taken care of that 'itch.' I'm not going to worry about owning the carts either - unless, like someone else posted, the copyright owner is still selling the license. I doubt that any software author would be offended that people are using their software 20 years later - unless they're still trying to sell it. I would think that most of them are quite happy about it. And the corporations obviously see this as a market too small to serve.
