Probably the best thing to do, to make sure you get all the details would
be to call Charles Cherry or Gail Johnson at Atari Corp.  Unfortunately
I can't find their individual numbers here, but if you call the main
Atari switchboard at  (408) 745-2000, they should be able to connect you.
 
Essentially it costs $250 to become a registered developer, which includes
the Documentation kit and software, and other incentives like the Developers'
newsletter and special pricing on hardware.
 
While the price has gone down, the requirements have been stiffened somewhat.
You now have to prove that you're an active software developer with products
already on the market, or provide a business plan if you don't already
have Atari related products.
