Two books that were recommended are "Your Atari Computer", by Lon Poole, and "Technical User Notes" (author unspecified). I've scoured the bookstores and computer magazine ads, but haven't found anybody that sells the first, or can get the second (Computer Palace, in Eugene OR advertises the latter, but in fact doesn't have it and can't get it). If anybody knows where I can get either of these books, I'd appreciate a pointer (e-mail, please). Also, is "De Re Atari" a good book to own (I currently depend heavily on Compute!'s "Mapping the Atari" for all my info)? Also, while I'm here, I own a Indus disk drive, and want to order both the new DOS (with "Synchromesh") and the DOS Reference manual. All around both the documentation and software, they say things like "Write or call us... we'd like to hear from you!"; the only problem is that they don't give a telephone number or address. If somebody has that handy and could e-mail it to me, I'd be eternally grateful. - joel "vo" plutchak {allegra,ihnp4,seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!oyster
