	Atari 400 computer
		Atari OS The Atari 400 and 800 were both announced in December 1978, though they didn't actually start shipping until late in 1979.
		Most of the Atari 400 circuitry is under a solid metal shield, to keep the radio emissions under the legal limit.
		Both the Atari 400 and 800 were designed by a team which included Jay Miner, who later went on to help design the Commodore Amiga 1000.

	Atari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atari develops, publishes and distributes games for all major video game consoles, as well as for the personal computer, and is currently one of the largest third-party publishers of video games in the United States.
		The original Atari was a pioneer in arcade games, home video game consoles, and personal computers, and its dominance in those areas made it the major force in the computer entertainment industry in the early to mid-1980s.
		In July 1996, Atari merged with JTS Inc.,a short-lived maker of hard disk drives, to form JTS Corp. Atari's role in the new company largely became a holder for the Atari properties and minor support, consequently the name largely disappeared from the market.

	ATARI 400 & 800
		Atari claims its 400 and 800 series computers are the first of a new generation of home/personal computers.
		I was supplied with a 16k model 400, a 48k model 800, a 90k single diskdrive, a 40 column impact printer, two joystick controllers, a cassette recorder and a selection of disks and cartridges.
		Atari Basic checks command syntax quite carefully at the time of input and, if it detects an error, highlights it with a marker at the part of the line at fault.

		Atari management saw this as a golden opportunity to re-purpose the machines, and started research on what would be needed to produce a workable home computer of their own.
		Atari's peripherals were named after the machines they were intended to be used with, so in general they have names like "410" and "1050".
		Atari also produced a number of other tape drives for use in eastern Europe where they continued to sell into the late 1980s due to their low cost.

	The Atari 400 Personal Computer System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Due to its low memory range, using a disk drive was not practical, so the Atari 400 was teamed up with its own peripheral, the Atari 410 cassette recorder.
		Also the Atari 400 did not have a composite monitor port and could only be connected to a standard TV via is RF modulator cord.
		Atari later offered an Authorized Service Center 48K upgrade for the Atari 400 and so did many 3rd party memory expansion companies.

	Atari 400
		Atari was at the top of the video gamming world with its 2600 VCS game console.
		They saw a market with relatively few major competitors and Atari was in a great position to market a computer of their own.
		The Atari 400 was one of the few computers of its day not to use a BASIC written by Microsoft, instead it used a version written in house, this made converting programs written in BASIC for other machines a bit difficult.

		The second modem released was the Atari 835 Direct Connect Modem, a stand-alone unit which hooks directly to the telephone line and does not use the 850 Interface Module.
		Like the Atari 400, the 800 was designed by a team which included Jay Miner, who later went on to help design the Amiga 1000.

	ATARI CX-5200 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The atari 5200 was essentially a repackaged Atari 400/800 computer.
		For some unknown reason - Atari also decided not to make the 5200 backwards compatible with the 2600 - hence a person only had a very limited choice (basicly updated standard 2600 games with nothing really new).
		Atari did eventually rush a 2600 adaptor for the unit out, but it was to late - the infamous Video Game Crash came and the 5200 was eventually scraped.

	Planet Irata: Atari 8-bit Computers
		It was 1979 when Atari, Inc. entered the home computer market with the introduction of the 800 and the 400 computer systems.
		The 800 has a second cartridge port and a full-stroke keyboard, while the 400 has a single cartridge port and a membrane keyboard.
		Originally, both the 400 and 800 were sold with 8K RAM, but later most 800's were sold with 48K and 400's with 16K.

	Atari 400
		Introduced in time for Christmas of 1979 the Atari 400 was the little brother of the Atari 800.
		The 400 had a membrane keyboard (kid safe) where the 800 had a full-travel keyboard and the 400 was limited to one expansion slot and, at least initially, a fixed 16k of RAM.
		The Atari 400 computer is a 6502 based machine with custom graphics and sound chips that made it a gamers delight.

		The Atari 5200 was in essence, an Atari 400 computer without a keyboard.
		The system featured many innovations like an automatically-switching switchbox (meaning it could automatically switch from regular TV viewing to the 5200) and 4 controller ports, but the most revolutionary was a controller with an analog joystick and system function keys (start, pause, reset).
		The Atari 5200 also suffered from its initial cartridge incompatibility with the Atari 2600 (an adapter was later released in 1983).

	The Atari 400/800/1200 Levels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		It was a breakthrough game for the time not only because it featured 10 screens of challenging puzzles and arcade quality graphics and sound but also because of the innovative marketing campaign by ICG (International Computer Group) that saw it licensed to just about every system around at the time.
		The Atari 400/800/1200 version became the template version that all the others were modelled on.
		Due to the programming skills of Bill Hogue and the advanced audio visual hardware of the Atari home computers, it is generally regarded as the best version very closely followed by the Commodore 64.

	Atari 8-Bit Computers: Frequently Asked Questions
		While the 8-bit Atari computers in their heyday were technically quite comparable if not superior in the worlds of home and business personal computing, they also live up to the name "Atari" with a huge library of video games which were often outstanding for their time.
		Released along with the 400 in 1979, the 800 was the high-end model of the two.
		Atari was a HUGE company, dominating Silicon Valley, and included a massive research and development department which famously designed many, many products that never saw the light of day.

		When the Atari boots up, it does some of its 'boot-up stuff' which includes looking for a disk drive connected and turned on which is set up as drive #1.
		This is a handler which runs in the background and accepts input from either a mouse, a joystick or a touch-tablet and displays a mouse pointer on the screen.
		The Atari 850 Interface has it's "R: handler" 'built-in', which means the Atari also looks for an 850 (or other compatible interface) and receives the "R: handler" code from it.

	TWO BIRTHS
		Sometime in early 1978, when the Atari 800 and 400 were still called "Coleen" and "Candy" and were still in the breadboard stages, Atari bought a copy of the source for Microsoft 8K BASIC.
		The clamor from Atari users for the source for FMS finally even reached us, so we have bowed to the inevitable, and honored the same commitment that Atari has made: to release as much information and aid as possible to the user community.
		With the release of this book, the dedicated Atari enthusiast can examine all the the inner workings of Atari DOS and modify his (or her) system to his heart's delight Rather than simply publish listings, we have chosen also to provide a complete guide to the workings of FMS.

		I've had an Atari 400 for years, but I never even bothered to test it until I read your post.
		But if all you use it for is to play disk or cartridge games (where your primary user interface is a joystick), it's not so much of a drawback.
		I rarely see Atari 400/800 tape drives in the wild, and I see diskette drives even less often.
