Their talking about 8-bit programming. The Stella programming manual is for the 2600.

I've been working on putting Atari Roots online. I have four chapters and one appendix to go. Once I am finished and if we can get permission, it will be moved over to the Atari Archives too.

 

For now, it lives here:
