I took a quick peek through a few of the 1981 issues.. There were several issues with articles from Chris Crawford going over display lists and other Atari specifics. I had no idea he had written those articles for BYTE.
Hi Thumpnugget.
The above quote is really old, like from the beginning of the thread. The picture is the editor's note from the DEC 82 (the last one you posted) Atari character set article. It sounds like they're both referencing the same stuff! And what cool stuff it is! I'm so grateful for all your efforts and realize you get to what you can when you can, but I wanted to make a very meek and timid request (which still sounds kind of bold, considering the circumstances) for these issues. This sounds like pure Atari gold!
Much obliged to you, sir.
Hey there.. Thank you for the comment.. I have five already chopped up then I am going to work on the 81/82 issues with the Atari Articles
So these five:
May 1979 - Maps for Computers (will post it Thursday)
Aug 1981 - Smalltalk (will post it Sunday)
Oct 1984 - Special IBM Issue
Jul 1977 - Computerize your Railroad
Aug 1985 - Declarative Languages and the Amiga
Then start the mags with the Atari articles

AtariUser 14 1992-06 Survival Kits - 32 Pages 26,396,193 bytes
Issue #14 of AtariUser Magazine from June 1992.. This is one of the two missing magazines from AtariUser that I did not have. Many Many thanks to Retrogeeks for sending me the magazine. I ended up have to split the pages so he ended up sacrificing the magazine for all of us to have a chance to read it.
I have the rest of the 6 remaining magazines (expect the one missing issue - #20 from Dec 1992) scanned and ready for processing so I should be back on the once a week schedule now for the next few weeks. If anyone has the Dec 1992 please get int touch and we can finish up the entire run.

Here is my method for scanning:
Step 1: Slice off the magazine binding.. I do this with a 17 inch guillotine slicer. They can be had on eBay for under 200 dollars. Replacement blades cost around 40 dollars but you will not go through many.
Step 2: Use a double sided auto-feed scanner to scan the pages. I user the ScanSnap S510. I scan at 300DPI (aka setting "best" which ironically is not...). Never scan anything in black and white.. even if it is black and white. Save to TIFF if you can. some only to to PDF which works OK.
Step 3: If you saved as TIFF use save the PDF as TIFF files into a separate directory.
Step 4: divide the TIFF file into two directories: One directory for pages with color, one directory with pages without color.
Step 5: Process the files to remove the scan-through. I use a macro in Photo Shop to go through each directory. Basically I alter the balance curves to remove some of the background.. ON the pages without color I convert them to gray-scale. For some pages this works wonders for other it is only marginally better.. It does shrink the file size a minimum of 25%
Step 6: Assemble the TIFF files back into a PDF and OCR them. I use 600 DPI searchable image using acrobat pro.. This will make a mess out of 1 of every 250 pages or so (miss-read the text and to a strange rotation on the page) but on the rest of the pages it does a decent job of making them straight. That is why in my PDFs on the dark page there is always a small corner of white - when the page is rotated it fills in the gaps with white. On the pages that are rotated like crazy you just replace it with the TIFF file and do an OCR scan and use the "exact image" option.
Step 7: Add in bookmarks...
You are done.. Yeah!

BYTE Vol 02-05 from May 1977... Oh time has been short the last two weeks and I had not planned on it to be so... Not a lot of time to digest these things lately
The Apple II article by Steve Wozniak and the 8080 programming notes make the issue for me. The tidbit on the ASCII standards and the Tiny Assembler implementation also had me teary eyed. I did not get a chance to even gloss over the AI article. Foreground

Hi People!
Sorry for the delay in getting the last issue posted (and then with an error - it is OCRing now, then I have to re-upload it, will put out a message when it is done).
Darryl - Yes please send that issue if you can! Thank you so much!
redheights - I had a couple of messages about the other archive a few months ago but as of yet have not been able to download any issues (I give it a go about once a week). We do not use Rapidshare - I have a hosted site.. Samir I think is giving up his own bandwidth and ExoBuzz I have no idea (don't ask don't tell
... Requests - Right now I am trying to do big issue / little issue (though even the little issues that are left are big now) so I will cycle them in but it may take a few cycles.

Hey there.. Interface age.. I think I have some of those (the covers seem familiar) I did a quick peek (home for lunch) and all that I found in my collection were some of pre-cursor magazines from before the split (interface was split into two magazines - Interface Age and SCCS Interface) - I have Issue 7 from when it was still called "interface" from June of 1976.. I also have issues of 9, 10, 11, 12 of SCCS Interface, and 13 of MicroComputer Interface (for issue 13 they changed the name to MicroComputer Interface).
They tend to be pretty pricey on eBay!

BYTE Vol 09-05 1984-05 Computers and the Professions - 586 Pages 403,427,461 bytes
BYTE Vol 09-05 from May 1984... Big Issue from 1984! I think the features section is much more interesting than the Themes section this month.. Though there is an article and program for an OB/GYN that uses an Atari 400 as an expert system. Apple seems to get more than the usual attention with several articles... and a couple of good articles for programmers: fitting curves to data and indexing open-ended tree structures.. Add that in with reviews for two C compilers, putting CP/M on the TRS-80 model II and an article covering HAM bulletin boards. Another excellent issue!

BYTE Vol 04-02 1979-02 Robot Arm - 236 Pages 149,945,300 bytes
BYTE Vol 07-03 from March 1982... Reading the "Designing a Robot from Nature" article you really get the feeling that humanoid robots may not be just around the corner but that we have a pretty good handle on what needs to be done. As per usual for me, the microprocessor article is a favorite - this particular case being part II covering the 6809. The forum on the eight queens puzzle has half a dozen interesting articles.
One interesting tidbits in the "BYTE News" - If I am not mistaken the first mention in BYTE about the Atari 8-bit computers is here:
ATARI'S NEW COMPUTERS. The recently announced Atari Model 400 and 800 personal computers are major
entries into the market. The 8K non-expandable 400 (suggested retail $500) sports a touch audio feedback keyboard
and a single read only memory cartridge slot, plus cassette IO. It also has 16 color graphics with eight luminance
levels (!) The 48K expandable 800 (suggested retail $1000 with 8K and cassette recorder) has additional color
features, full keyboard, 8K BASIC, high resolution graphics, two read only memory cartridge slots, and much more.
Both units use a modified 6502. Availability: August 1979 (limited quantities); full availability: Fall 1979.
More details next month.
Almost makes it sound like the 400 would have the CTIA while the 800 would have the GTIA

AtariUser 15 1992-07 Summer Fun - 32 Pages 23,487,248 bytes
Issue #15 of AtariUser Magazine from July 1992.. Oh look, more yellow! OK, OK only half of it
So another special Summer Issue which means.. games! Yeah! Mostly the ST and some Lynx with the 8-bit getting the shaft. The news was kinda sad to read - the Milwaukee AtariFest was a disappointment with only 200 people coming even though there were big names and announcements... There was also a blurb about the declining User Group memberships and creative ways to keep number up... Kind of interesting that they were trying to grow for growing sake like a business.News and Stuff!

Oh no!! Did you throw them away?
There is an issue #14 on its way so the only missing issue now is #20 (December 92). With yours gone I only know of one other person that has it and he was not ready to give it up for the cause last time I spoke to him
I have issue #15 ready to go... I'll post it up tomorrow then swing around and get #14 next week if it arrives in the next few days.
If anyone has the Dec 1992 issue - these mags are small enough that I can get them scanned non-destructively (no need to split the spine) and return it to you... We are only one magazine away from having the complete collection...

BYTE Vol 07-03 1982-03 Printers - 532 Pages 352,800,678 bytes
BYTE Vol 07-03 from March 1982... I know what you are thinking.. Awesome! Finally a magazine covering dot matrix printers from 1982! Sadly, this covers so much more even though they only had 532 pages. The BYTE Arcade covers a few good games like Apple Panic, Missile Command, and Dino wars.. Reviews of the COBOL for the TRS-80 III, a Tutorial over the Atari 8-bit sound capability, and a toolbox for FORTH.
This is the stated quote of the month by the Wall Street Journal.
"By the end of the century, analysts predict, computers and information processing
will be the world 's biggest business after petroleum."
But I found this one very funny (look at page 439 of the PDF in the BYTElines):
"A report issued by Strategic Incorporated, a market research firm in San Jose, California, predicts Xerox
Corporation's Ethernet local area network will be a total failure within two years."
Good Call!

BYTE Vol 02-04 1977-04 Baudot Machines - 180 Pages 109,260,127 bytes
BYTE Vol 02-04 from April 1977... Going for four this week so I had to get this one out to make the goal.. I'm a but BYTEd out this week so I didn't go through the articles in an overly detailed fashion. The usual suspects of goodness: A bit on the 8008 - it is 1977 and they are already calling this processor slow and out of date and have labeled it "first generation".
There is an article on the Apple II (with a picture) which I think is the first mention in BYTE (The magazine issue date is a month before the Apple II launch)... Some of the background articles have some strange names - "WHY AREN'T THERE ANY ALTAIRS ON ARCTURUS II?" I need to go back and see what these are about
