	AEX - The most comprehensive exploration of Atari online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The first new XL system to launch was the 1200XL in 1983, but it only saw a North American roll-out.
		Atari was also having other problems, which put additional pressure on the computer division and their senior managers.
		The XL line was cancelled in its entirety in late 1984 after the company was sold to Jack Tramiel.

	Atari Museum XL Range
		The Atari 1450XLD was supposed to be released around the summer to fall of 1984 and it too would never been released because of the sale of Atari, inc. to the Tramiel family.
		Atari was never able to produce both its 1850XL computer and also its new high-end video game console which were both to be based on the Amiga chipset technology.
		The electronics design of the Atari XL series of computers were done in the New York WCI Atari research labs under Steve Mayer with Gregg Squires as the head of Engineering.

	Atari 8-bit family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atari researched on what would be needed to produce a workable home computer of their own.
		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.
		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 800 computer
		Atari OS The Atari 400 and 800 were announced in December 1978, though they didn't actually start shipping until late in 1979.
		The Atari 800 has multiple special purpose co-processors for sound and graphics to take the load off of the 6502 CPU, and it has sprites and collision-detection built into its hardware, so it is an excellent game machine.
		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 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.

		The BASIC ROM is also 16KB in size, one half filled with Atari BASIC rev C., the other half with the assembler I always used (Synapse Assembler/XL).
		This is a stand alone computer which resembles the ATARI 850interface.
		The bootloader and driver (which are uploaded by IOCOMP and then executed on the ATARI computer) are relocatable 65C02 code.

	Atari7800.com - Atari Joe - Joe's Home Page
		The Atari 7800 ProSystem was first introduced in 1984 as the next big leap in home video games, and is considered by many to be the true successor to the 2600.
		The Atari 7800 was the culmination of a vast amount of RandD, as early in 1983 Atari surveyed consumers to find out what they wanted in a game system.
		From this knowledge came the Atari 7800 providing a big punch in a little package, released to the market with two sleek ProLine joysticks that were backwards-compatible with the 2600, and the formula racer Pole Position II which performed its function of demonstrating the 7800’s bright colors and capabilities quite well.

		The Atari 260 ST is a hard to find computer because only a few units hit the market.
		The successor of the Atari ST was the Atari TT.
		The Atari 2600 console is the most successfull console of Atari Corp. I have two different model : the first one is wooden, the second is more recent and is also code named Atari 2600 Junior.

		In december 1978, Atari announces the Atari 400 and 800 personal computers, using the 6502 microprocessor.
		The Atari 800XL, together with the 600XL, were successors of the Atari 400/800 series and the unsuccessful Atari 1200 XL in a more compact case.

	AGH -- Atari XEGS Information
		Atari decided to use that extra ROM for the Missile Command game, which is bank-switched in and out much like how Atari BASIC is toggled on and off.
		Atari has informed me, however, that the XG-1 and a revised Bug Hunt will be released as a separate package.
		If Atari can provide a responsive cartridge production service for third party software vendors (something the old Atari never would have done), then we're likely to see the software base for the 8-bit Ataris grow with the popularity of the game industry, which is definitely on the rise again.

	Atari 800 XL PC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		No doubt, everyone will recognize the names "Atari", "Commodore", and "IBM", as these three were the big players in home computing back in the early 80s.
		By today's standards, the 800 XL was not much of a computer - It consisted of a beige keyboard with a built in cartridge drive (for playing those old Atari cartridges) and a powerpack which plugged into the back of the keyboard and a wall outlet.
		To that end, this section is dedicated to that classic computer system, fans of the 800 XL, and some of the games that I grew up playing on the 800 XL.

		After building my very first portable,-the Atari 2600 VCSp, back in 2000 (ever notice how awkward of a year that is to say?) I had a couple of "dream projects" to follow it up with.
		Atari had made a new OS that acts like the old but also has the hard drive support built in, so the machine thinks it's just a really big disk drive.
		I picked the XEGS because it was the last model Atari 8-bit computer (released as a "game system" but still a computer) Therefore I knew it'd be the smallest and easiest to hack.

		With all those classic arcade titles under their belt, Atari were a prolific publisher for the format, and you’ll find that their best renditions of arcade classics are on this series of machines.
		Thanks to hi-res colour, multi-channel sound and dedicated sprites, the XL versions are far closer to their arcade couterparts than any other versions of the time.
		There are plenty of UK releases too, Level 9 adventure titles all appeared on the format, English Software chose the Atari 800 to release their eclectic range of titles, like the classic racer, Electraglide.

	Turbo-Basic XL Manual
		Turbo-Basic XL was once a popular programming language for Atari XL and XE computers, which were sold throughout the 1980s.
		Atari emulators are readily available and they provide a good environment for learning to program, without all the complexity that modern programming environments force onto users.
		Turbo-Basic XL is backward-compatible with Atari BASIC and should be regarded as an extension or superset of Atari BASIC.

		Of very great interest to the Atari community are the expansion units announced at the CES.

		The Atari 800XL, together with the 600XL, were successors of the Atari 400/800 series and the unsuccessful Atari 1200 XL in a more compact case.
		They would be replaced in 1985 with the XE series when Atari launched the ST.
		Regarding the comment "and can use the same software just so long as the program was written correctly", a translator disk was provided with the 1050 disk drive (the drive released with the XL series) that allowed the 600/800xl to run all older software.

		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.
		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.
		If you have an Atari 1050 disk drive, you can use the program MULE to copy files, one file at a time, 20k chunks at a time, from the Atari to the IBM.

		The Atari 1200 XL was the predecessor of the Atari 600/800 XL.
		The Atari 1200 XLS was an original concept design of the 1200XL.
		The Atari 1200XL did not suffer from widespread compatibility problems; a relatively small amount of software that (generally) did not precisely conform to 400/800 standards (primarily 3rd-party games) did not work.

		Atari was planning on releasing a TLSF arcade machine which would have been similar to Star Wars, but it never got far beyond the Alpha stage (only one prototype was made, but it's long gone).
		However Atari also planned to release a home version of TLSF for the Atari 5200, 400/800, and 2600.
		Finally in 1985, Atari decided to finally release The Last Starfighter as Star Raiders II on disk for the Atari XL and eventually on cartridge for the XE.

		Since the Atari only has two interrupt lines (NMI and IRQ) of which just IRQ is connected to the parallel bus, we have to wire the six IRQ signals from the PC bus using diodes to a 74LS74 flip-flop.
		The inverting output is used to connect the signal to Atari’s IRQ\ line.
		If the Atari wants to write to a PC card, all required information is put to the address and data bus and the R/W\ signal drives low level.
