  Funy you should mention Newsroom, because it's just been released for the
8-bit Ataris. Straight from my Atari soft/hardware salespeople friends...


  And for those who I left hanging on the topic of "which XEGS carts won't
work on a 48K 800?", the official word is in:

Will NOT work on a 48K 800:
	Flight Simulator II (awwww)
	Lode Runner
	David's Midnight Magic

Will work on a 48K 800:
	Everything else


  Hope this helps,
