Tim Northrup commented that info about the ST is available from the Compute!
book series..
 
Yes, that's true, but once again, it's a case of the "third party" bailing
Atari out and relieving them of the responsibility of supporting their
products in anything resembling the way other computer companies support
THEIR products.
 
Both the Amiga technical manual series, and the Apple Toolbox books are
produced by the company that manufactures the computer.
 
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Atari Corp would produce documentation whicwould
be complete and "official", and available to anyone who wanted it, "over the
counter", without having to "join the fraternity" by coughing up $300..?
 
Atari has been promising better documentation forever... it's pretty obvious
that this is a VERY low-priority item with them.  We're facing the obsolscenc
of the ST without ever having had any real "official" and easily available
information about it...!
