I'm planning on doing some programming for the Atari 2600.  I found some
tech docs on the net (I'll email them or post them here if people want them).
Also, there's going to be a mailing list for people interested in programming
the 2600.  This list is only for people who are serious and understand the
difficulties involved (2600's have no frame buffer--you have to send data
out for each scan line as the electron gun is scanning them, and you have to
do everything in 6507 (a crippled 6502) assembly optimized for space and
speed.  I know it might sound silly wanting to program the 2600, but it 
should be a fun challenge.
