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.

a) Atari OS Rev. B (PAL) for Atari 400/800 from 1981 ; PRINT PEEK (65528)  <RETURN> => 34

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:

b) OPERATING SYSTEM 255 for Atari 400/800 ; PRINT PEEK (65528)  <RETURN> => 255

c) * The Atari Accountant Series

d) * Atari The Dow Jones Investment Evaluator
Atari Dow Jones Investment Evaluator CX8124
Atari Dow Jones Investment Evaluator CX8125
Atari Dow Jones Investment Evaluator CX8127

e) OSS BUGV4FIX.COM - file needed to patch BUG/65 to work with DOS XL 4

f) Synapse Software: SynMail; was finished according to Steve Hales, but after SynCalc und SynFile+ never sold to the public. So, somewhere out there, it may exists

g) Synapse Software: SynText; was finished according to Steve Hales, but after SynCalc und SynFile+ never sold to the public. So, somewhere out there, it may exists

h) Synapse Software: SynTax; ever shipped? Status, as of 2015, is complete unclear.

i)* Phoenix for Atari 800

j) Atari Editor CX8105 (maybe replaced by the Atari Program Text Editor?)

k) German ATARI SOFTWARE:
Super Sort
Terminkalender
Super Biorythmus
Disk Fixer
Diskettenbibliothek
Fehler abc
Schluck / Richtungspfeile

l) WWF-Club-Spiel - A cartridge used by German Television in the 80's for a call-in game via telephone - programmer has lived in Hattingen/Germany

m) Atari Learning System Software (complete)
