I have some game draw and collision routines for the
apple, which i know pretty well, that i would like to 
port to the atari 800, about which i know very little. 

Could someone tell me:
	
	1:  does the atari 800 have an RIFA (Reduced
	Interference From Antic) mode that allows one
	to do normal bit-mapped draws by just moving 
	bytes around in memory?

	2:  what is the best way to use this chip anyhow?

and a related question

	1:  does anyone have specs and info on running 
	the graphics of the STBR (Soon To Be Released) 
	atari machine?  

All information incredibly appreciated.
