	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.
		The 8-bit Atari computers do not use the same cartridges or floppy disks as any other Atari platforms, such as the 2600 Video Computer System (VCS), the 5200 SuperSystem, the 7800 ProSystem, or the ST/TT/Falcon computers.
		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.

	Cheap personal computers and PCs
		It was the launch of the VisiCalc spreadsheet, initially for the Apple II and later for the Atari 8-bit family, Commodore PET, and IBM PC that became the "killer app" that turned the microcomputer into a business tool.
		The eventual result was the purchase of several million IBM compatible personal computers all across the government which encouraged many of the government contractors to buy IBM compatibles “to be compatible with the government.” The result was that the “IBM compatible computers”, Intel processors, and Microsoft became the standard.
		Later, Lotus 1-2-3, a combined spreadsheet (partly based on VisiCalc), presentation graphics, and simple database application, became the PCs own killer app.

	Atari 8-bit family
		Atari built a series of 8-bit home computers based on the MOS Technologies 6502 CPU, starting in 1979.
		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 800 was rather complex and expensive to build, while the 400 didn't compete technically with some of the newer machines appearing in the early 1980s, so in 1982 Atari started the "Sweet 16" project to address these issues.

	Atari 8-bit family - free-definition
		Atari built a series of 8-bit home computers based on the MOS Technology 6502 CPU, starting in 1979.
		However, at this point, the home computer revolution took off in the form of the Apple II family, Commodore PET and TRS-80.
		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.

		Under the Tramiel's family leadership, Atari rolled out a new line of 8-bit computers, and later failing to secure the Amiga computer developed a powerful 16-bit computer called the Atari ST to compete with IBM PCjr and Apple Macintosh.
		Later models were introduced with the 8MHz 68000 processor and these were dubbed the ST (Sixteen bit to Thirty-two bit) series, one of them being the famous Atari 1040STe which was later replaced by the Atari MegaSTe that sported a zippy 16MHz 68000.
		These pages were created to illustrate the basic machine information of the Atari Family as a service to the Atari and Linux/m68k community.

	Atari BASIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ATARI BASIC was a ROM resident BASIC interpreter for the Atari 8-bit family of 6502-based home computers.
		Atari did sell a diskette-based version of MS BASIC, Atari Microsoft BASIC, and later managed to fit it onto a cartridge as well, but no compiler or runtime was available for redistribution.
		Atari's first attempt to produce a BASIC followed the lines of most other companies; they purchased a license to the already-standard Microsoft 8K BASIC intending to convert it to run on the new machine.

	Atari 8-bit family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Atari had originally intended to port Microsoft BASIC to the machine, as had most other vendors, intending to supply it on an 8k ROM cartridge.
		A theory for why the number 65 was used for the first machine in the XE series is because Atari wanted their machine-numbers to correspond with the amount of RAM they came with, but as Commodore already used the numbers 64 and 128, Atari decided to add one to 64 and chose 65.

		The ATASCII character set, from ATARI Standard Code for Information Interchange, alternatively ATARI ASCII, is the variation on ASCII used in the Atari 8-bit family of home computers.
		The first of this family were the Atari 400 and 800, released in 1979, and later models were released throughout the 1980s.
		The last Atari 8-bit computer, and therefore the last computer to use the ATASCII character set, was the XEGS (short for "XL Extended Gaming System,") which was released in 1989.

	Nintendo Entertainment System
		In addition, the hardwired controllers of the original console were omitted in favor of removable controllers which connect to the front of the unit using DE-9 serial connectors, identical to those used in the Atari 2600 and the Atari 8-bit family of computers.
		To this end, Nintendo entered into negotiations with Atari to release the Famicom under Atari's name as the name "Nintendo Enhanced Video System." This deal eventually fell through, and Atari decided to concentrate on its own 8-bit console, the Atari 7800, once again leaving Nintendo on its own.
		Nintendo sought to distance their product from the traditional American video game system: the new name emphasized that the broader entertainment potential of the system, one which used "packs" as opposed to the traditional "cartridge" (a technically meaningless distinction).

	BASIC A Plus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BASIC A+ was developed by Optimized System Software of Cupertino, California, to provide the Atari 8-bit family with an extended BASIC compatible with, but faster than, the simpler ROM-based Atari BASIC.
		BASIC A+ was offered at a price of US$80.00 in 1983, including the products OS/A+ and EASMD (Editor/Assembler), and being an extension of Atari BASIC, came with a supplement to the latter's reference manual as its documentation.
		While Atari BASIC came on an 8 KB ROM cartridge, BASIC A+ was delivered on floppy disk and took 15 KB of the computer's RAM, leaving 23 KB available for user programs in a 48 KB Atari 800.
