The Atari Assembler Editor cartridge was a program used to edit, compile and debug assembly language programs for the Atari 8-bit computers. It was programmed by Kathleen Ann O'Brien of Shepardson Microsystems, Inc., later founding member of OSS, Inc.. It was the first commercially available assembler for the Atari 8-bit computers ever. And yes, it was programmed by a woman. Showing once more, how far ahead of time SMI and OSS were. The program was a two-pass 6502 assembler, in an 8 KB cartridge. With the command __SIZE__, the user gets the info, how much space is free and the command __DOS__, exits the cartridge and jumps into the Disk Operationg System (DOS). There are rumors of a __LOMEM__ command, but AtariWiki couldn't verify this.

If we go far ahead of this, then even an interbreed with the [TURBO-BASIC XL source code|https://atariwiki.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=TURBO-BASIC%20XL#section-TURBO-BASIC+XL-SourceCode] is thinkable. In 1985 this was done for the Atari Basic cartridge by Frank Ostrowski and because of many code routines are similar, there is great chance to achieve this. Of course, even a renaming of the cartrige is possible, AtariWiki suggest to call it: 'Atari Turbo-Assembler Editor'. ;-)
