A man page has also been +installed. The system wide configuration file can be found at +/usr/local/lib/atari/atari800.cfg (or similar) which you will probably +want to copy to your home directory, at some stage, to personalise the +settings. + +If you're at all serious about your emulator then you SHOULD check out +these URL's in the order they're written: + + http://www.signus.demon.co.uk/david/ + http://zippy.sonoma.edu/~kendrick/nbs/new_and_emu.html + ftp://ftp.hackerz.com/hackerz/atari/web/index.html + comp.sys.atari.8bit + +This should get you started and provide you with numerous links to +other web sites. + +The ROM's for the Atari computers are, unfortunately, copyright. This +port will attempt to down-load another freeware Atari emulator for DOS +called PC Xformer 2.5 which contains copies of these ROM files. If you +would like to take a further look at XF2.5 you should find it in your +distfiles directory (if it successfully down-loaded :->). For more info +on this emulator check out "http://www.halcyon.com/brasoft/". + +If you have any general Atari questions then you might get a more +fruitful response by posting them to the news group, as the emulation +and questions mailing list won't be up-to-date with all things +Atari. However the FreeBSD emulation mailing list is dedicated to +discussing the emulation of other O/S's so don't be shy. Please check +Section 25 of the handbook for information on the mailing lists. + +Share and enjoy, + +Joel... +:-> +suttonj@interconnect.com.au |
