I tried to reply by mail but got bounced by the friendly daemon. Here goes: I am not online here very often. Many other things going on, and the engineering group seems to be offering good support here these days. Carts that are 800-compatible are Battlezone, Star Raiders II, Bug Hunt, Blue Max, Archon. Ones that will NOT work are Lode Runner, Flight Simulator II, and Midnight Magic. The above information covers the first release of carts only. I will see if we can get you an update on more recent releases. Also, we list the system requirements on the cart's box. If it lists the 800, it is compatible. If the 800 is NOT listed, it is NOT compatible. --->Neil -- Neil Harris, Director of Sales & Marketing -- East and Midwest Regions UUCP: ...{hoptoad, lll-lcc, pyramid, imagen, sun}!atari!neil GEnie: NHARRIS, BIX: neilharris, CIS: 70007,1135, Office: 408-745-2160
