Back in January, Lee Mondoza reviewed "Atari ST Internals" by Gerits,
Englisch and Bruckman, published by Abacus Software.  What I would
like to know from those who have the book and/or a recent developer's
kit is:

1) Is this book still a good addition to the developer's kit?
2) Does TOS in ROM change none/some/most/all of the magic addresses?
3) Does a 1040ST change none/some/most/all of the magic?  (The book
   was written about the 520ST)
4) How close is the 20 June 85 BIOS listing in the book to the current
   BIOS?  Very close, useful, useless?

For that matter,

5) What is the current state of the developer's kit?  What's changed in
   it from the original kits?  Has the documentation improved?
6) What other (non-Atari) internals documents are currently recommended?
