WHAT IS ATARI8.COM?
Atari8.com is a group of Atari 8-bit computer enthusiasts from the 'old daze' that refuse to give up their love of these wonderful machines. We figured that since some of the fan sites for Atari 8-bit systems are starting to disappear, we would start our own, and keep it around FOREVER! (Ahem, well... as long as humanly possible.) We aim to have a one-stop-shopping approach to information and discussions about the Atari 8-bit computers in a friendly and professional manner. Yes, thats a tall order, but with your help, we can achieve this goal! Come and Join us! Share your love of the 8-bit!Site upgrade
Submitted by SteveB on Wed, 2008-08-20 19:56So I've upgraded the site and put in place some anti-spammer measures that should help ward off the pesky spammers that have plagued the site. Hooray!

Cool ATR utility
Submitted by Geezer on Tue, 2006-08-29 14:12Check out this ATR utility for winblows:
http://serious-dial.atari.pl/makeATR/
The page is in Polish, but grab the program from the bottom. Up until now, I was using AXE under linux but this program is far superior! It also has sector views and some kind of unerase potential. What more could you ask for? Saving option for .DCM would be nice :)

Atari Project: ATAR/UX
Submitted by rick on Fri, 2005-11-25 01:03Ok - this started some years ago. Someone handed me the source code, and I hacked about 15 lines, and posted it. I have since discovered that it was FEMUL (Floppy EMULator) written originally by Pavel Machek
( http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/atari/ ).
I want to do a couple of things:
1) Create a new ATR image.
2) R: support !!!!!! <<<===--- MAN I want this...
a) Someone help with this one PLEASE?!

The CSS Website
Remember BobTerm? (my personal favorite), The Multiplexer (man oh man I wish I could get my hands on some of those puppies), and the Floppy Board?
