The Data Becker book has only the BIOS disassembled, at last my copy...

Well, there is a discompilation (re-assembly to C source) of the
(almost) complete GEMDOS (including reassembly of Bios, XBios and AHDI)
in a book called "Das TOS Listing". This one is published by the
Heise-Verlag, not Data Becker. Did Atari block publication of this in
USA?

The book is german. Still want it?
