Mr. Undo Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 If you have some spare time and you want to delve a bit into how the Atari ST was conceived and its first months of life, take a look at this website I'm working on: http://atarivt.com/ 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Philsan Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Awesome work, thank you very much! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfollowell Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 It looks great so far. We I check it out, it ends at the end of May 1985, but I see you say you're working on it, so I'm assuming it will continue as you add more content. Keep up the great work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMaddog Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Nice! Finally there's a proper timeline of Tramiel's Atari Corp and with links to sources. This is gonna help out with research... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calimero Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Very nice! Is it a database behind the site or static HTML/JSON/TXT content? I do believe that you already know but: https://mcurrent.name/atarihistory/tramel_technology.html have great timeline data. btw why slides are groups in three? (when you click on some date, popup will open with details and you can use arrow keys, or mouse, to scroll to next date/slide but only in groups of three...)

So far I have the timeline in draft mode until the end of 1986, pending to be adapted and published. My intention is to keep up with the research and expand the timeline up to the end of Atari Corp’s life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! 8 hours ago, calimero said: Is it a database behind the site or static HTML/JSON/TXT content? The site is based on a very customized Wordpress template. So, yes, it uses databases. But all the the content is updated manually, entry by entry, in a similar way you publish posts in a WP site. 8 hours ago, calimero said: I do believe that you already know but: https://mcurrent.name/atarihistory/tramel_technology.html have great timeline data. Marty Goldberg pointed me also to this site yesterday on Facebook. As I told him, Michael Current’s work was the starting point for this project. I cite many of the sources that he points to on his site. Michael Current made a priceless research to create those timelines. 8 hours ago, calimero said: why slides are groups in three? This decision was made to optimize the loading time. I have to find a better way, allowing a progressive loading without leaving the lightbox (pop-up) mode. The design is still in progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
