Lloyd G. Dorsett, the founder, has proven, that the Atari can do much more than just playing games. He was so much ahead of his time. Indeed, with his work, we face the 1st generation of e-learning with over 1,000 (!) programs. He made 64 courses with 8 hours duration. Atari just released 16 courses, but had an option for much more! If someone has the source code of the cartridge and can provide it to us, so we can see, how the data was read in from the cassettes, we would be very, very lucky. :-) Further, if someone has the missing 48 courses or even just informations about them, we would be very happy, too. Please see an advertisement from Popular Science, January 1983, page 99 (thank you so much tschak909 from AtariAge for giving us the information):
