How can I get one? Who published it? >Etc.? I understand it is a very good reference for basic >technical information on Atari."De Re Atari, Anno Domini MCMLXXI, A Guide To Effective Programming, 400/800 Home Computer", APX-90008 Distributed By The ATARI Program Exchange P.O. Box 3705 Santa Clara, CA 95050 To request an APX Product Catalog, write to the address above, or call toll-free: 800/538-1862 (outside California) 800/672-1859 (within California) Or call our Sales number, 408/727-5603 (c) 1982 Atari, Inc. - - - - - I ran out and bought mine a year and a fraction ago, when they were obviously unloading the 800 line. The local technical bookstore was unable to get delivery on it then, so I went directly to Arari's APX - I had a catalog then - and got it by mail. Seems to me, it was $19.95 or the like, but I wouldn't bet on it. If you can still contact them, it is certainly worth getting - it is all I have ever heard said about it plus quite a bit more. If they claim it can't be bought any more, see if they will agree - in writing - for you to make a copy of an existing one, for free or for a nominal fee. If they will, I'll be glad to work something out with you. It is an absolute 'must have' reference. An aside: the other 'must have' is their "ATARI Home Computer System Technical Reference Notes, includes: Operating System User's Manual, Operating System Source Listing, and Hardware Manual". Same source, 500 or so pages of EVERYTHING KNOWN by the developers about the HW/SW!!! I remember it at maybe $29.95, but wouldn't bet on that memory either. FROM: Brian G.
