I bought the cassette Zaxxon for the Atari - I also did not see a disk version, and when I asked about it, the salesman told me that the reason the disk wasn't available was that the disk version was going to be a larger, more complex one and wasn't ready yet. The cassette version is very good, but does seem simpler in some respects than the Colecovision game. Anyone know more? With regard to copying cassette boot tapes to either tape or disk, there was a great program to do that published in the Feb/Mar Antic, called "CBOOTMGR". They said it was only good for copying single-stage boot tapes, but I have found it works fine on multi-stage boots; it just then becomes a multi-stage process. I have rewritten the cassette read portion of this program entirely in machine code and use it to read in and disassemble any boot tape with the Editor/Assembler cartridge.
