Say, I don't suppose that any of you other developers have received some
stuff from Atari recently, then.
Two days ago, I got some docs from Atari. They are:
S.A.L.A.D. (Still Another Line-A Document), and
(Unititled) a specification for the Mega expansion slots.
SALAD looks to be quite a nice document. It contains synopses of all the
Line-A functions, each with an example of its use, and cautions where
appropriate.
I haven't completely read through the description of the Mega-slots, but
I did glance at it. It of course has pin-outs of the connector, part
numbers for the mating connector, talk about what address ranges are safe
for folks developing hardware add-ons (there is a specific caution to
those who put memory on an expansion card), etc.
Also, there was a newsletter for developers enclosed that was supposedly
written with Microsoft Word on a Mega-4, and printed on the Atari laser
printer.
Hopefully this is a sign of more good things to come...
