There are a few compilers available for the 8 bit.  Some of the
betters ones are: Action!, MAC/65, and Kyan Pascal.

Yes, Sparta DOS does use the extra memory in the 130xe.  The "thing"
ICD sells for the 1050 allows the 1050 to become a "true" double
density drive, and speeds up the drive.  Well worth it!

The PR connection is just as good as the 850, from what I hear.  I
have an 850.  I don't know of anybody who just sells a RS232 port for
the Atari.

There are a few good magazines for the Atari.  Some of them are:
ANALOG
ANTIC
Atari Explorer.
