CHAPTER

INTRODUCATION

THE

ATARI

COMPUTER

AND

PERIPHERALS

Introduction

In this

book,

will

describe

the

Atari

home

computers

well

the

peripherals

that

can

attached

them

such

disk

drives, cassette recorders, and printers.

the

first

chapter

this

book,

will

discuss

the

features

the

Atari

400

and

800

computers

the

410

Program

Recorder,

the

810

disk

drive

, game

controls

, and

the

various

Atari

printers

the

second

chapter,

will

discuss

the

installation

and

operation

the

Atari

400

800

and its various

peripherals

the

third

and

fourth

chapters,

will

discuss

programming

the

Atari in Atari's version

the

BASIC

programming

language.

The

fifth

chapter

contains

reference

guide

the

various

Atari

BASIC

commands,

statements, and

functions.

In Chapters

and 8,

will

discuss

the

Atari

Cassette

Recorder,

Atari

Disk

Drive,

and Atari

printers

greater

detail.

Chapter

will

discuss

the

usage

graphics

and

sound

the

Atari

400

and

800

Atari 400 and 800

There are

two

Atari

computer

models;

the

Atari

400 and

the

Atari

800

(pictured

Illustration

1-1).

The Atari

400

and

800

are very similar. Both

models

function

the

same and

the

same set

instructions.

The

difference

between

the

Atari

400

and

800

lies in

the

fact

that

the

800 has

features

that

the

400

does not.

For instance,

the

Atari

800

memory

can

expanded

while

the

8 User's

Handbook

the Atari 400/800 Computers

memory

the

Atari

400

less

fixed. Also,

with

the

Atari

800,

video

monitor

can be used

for

video

output

well

regular television set.

With

the

Atari

400,

only

aregular television

set

can

be used

for

video

output.

A video

monitor

offers a

detailed

picture

than a regular television set. Also,

the

Atari

800

has

typewriter

style keyboard

while

the

Atari

400

has

aflat panel

with

the keys

outlined

on it. Finally,

the

Atari

800

allows

two

accessory cartridges

be plugged in,

while

the

Atari

400

allows

only

one.

However,

the

Atari

400

does have one major advantage--it costs

less

than

the

Atari

800.

From hereon, we

will

refer

both

the

Atari

400

and

800

collectively

the

Atari, unless a distincion between

the

two

necessary.

Whenever

we refer

one

model,

the

reader can

assume that

the

concept

applies

the

other

model

well,

unless

specify otherwise.
