Rarity 10 and above up to impossible#


This chapter is intended to make an outlook for programs which must exist, but seem to be lost over the decades. If you have any hint, idea or whatever else to help us to digitize this for generations to come, please let us know.
An current up-to-date list as a pdf-file can be found here: Artifact-List2.pdf(info) ; 143 KB

a)
Atari OS Rev. B (PAL) for Atari 400/800 from 1981:

There are more than rumors about this OS type, please see here:

Atari XL OS full searchable size: 14.8 MB

Page 31 in the PDF-file or page 28 in the manual itself.

If you own an Atari 400 or 800 in the PAL version, please do us a favor and enter:

?PEEK(65528)

in BASIC. If the result is 34, then you own the most expensive Atari in the world, which has an OS we do not have up to today. It is only a little step for you, but would be a giant leap for the Atari community. Everlasting fame is sure for you in that case.

Further we are looking for:
