* AtariSIO version 0.2.0: AtariSIO is a Linux kernel module and user-level program by Mattias Reichl that allows the use of a SIO2PC cable under Linux. AtariSIO is available at http://www.horus.com/~hias/atari
* AtariMax flash cartridge (1 megabit): This cartridge is available in 8 megabit size. AtariMax flash cartridges are reprogrammable flash-memory based cartridges. This effectively provides extra memory that can be quickly paged in for things like unrolled code loops, look-up tables, etc. More information can be found at http://www.atarimax.com/flashcart/documentation

* ATasm v #5: ATasm is highly compatible with the original OSS Mac/65 native compiler. ATasm is written in C, and compiles without modification on any platform that has a GCC compiler. ATasm has been specifically designed for the development of programs for the Atari home computer. It can produces Atari native binary load object files, raw cartridge images, and can optionally target the machine state files produced by many emulators. Binary load files can also be written to disk images for easy loading in other emulators or onto real hardware via SIO2PC. It is available at http://atasm.sourceforge.net
* Another popular assembler that is also Atari specific is XASM by Fox of Taquart. This assembler is compatible with JBW's Quick Assembler, which was the primary assembler used in Poland and other eastern European countries during the 1990s. XASM includes several pseudo-instructions (like mva) and pseudo-indexing modes. In addition, it can generate Atari native binary object files and has includes utilities to create boot disk images. XASM can be found at http://atariarea.krap.pl/x-asm/ ;
* If you are looking for a Linux assembler that is Quik Assembler compatible, try a program called Zooey, found at http://atari8.sourceforge.net/zooey.html
* Another assembler worth considering is the MADS assembler, found at http://mads.atari8.info/; The latest documentation is always provided in Polish, however there is an English translation of version 1.9.5 provided here: http://mads.atari8.info/mads_eng.html

* Some projects have been written using cc65, a version of C that targets the 6502. In addition to providing a high-level language, the project also provides an assembler and a powerful linker, allowing basic library management. cc65 can be found at http://www.cc65.org/. Please note that cc65 is no longer developed, support slowed down and the website will lead you to other sites.

* envisionPC is a font/map editing program similar to the original Envision program written for the Atari. It runs on an IBM PC (either Linux or DOS/Windows) and includes all source code. It will load and save maps and character sets to disk images, MAC/65, and Action! formats. It is available at http://atari.miribilist.com/envision/index.html
* gEnvision is another Envision-like program written for Linux written by Larry Richardson. gEnvision will allow you to edit Atari character sets in either single or multicolor modes. It will let you create character based "maps" of up to 256x256 characters. It will save characters sets and maps as MAC/65 source code. gEnvision is available at http://bellsouthpwp.net/r/i/rich5462
* graph2font is a conversion utility for full screen pictures. Graph2Font has evolved into a full-featured graphics editor and conversion tool. The latest version can be found at http://g2f.atari8.info

* Atari800 #3.3 emulator: This is free and portable Atari800/XL/XE/5200 emulator, originally written by David Firth and now developed by the Atari800 Development Team headed up by Petr Stehlik. This is the primary emulator that I use. It has a very nice monitor for debugging and recently has added cycle-exact emulation and greatly improved POKEY emulation. The Atari800 emulator is available at http://atari800.sourceforge.net.
* The Atari++ emulator is also an excellent emulator by Thomas Richter. It was the first cycle-exact emulator and provides many useful functions including a very nice monitor and emulation of Flash cartridges. Atari++ is available at http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~thor/atari++
* Atari800Win Plus: This emulator is Windows only, but is considered one of the best emulators around. It can be found at http://www.a800win.atari-area.prv.pl.
