Atari 130XE Machine Language for the Absolute Beginner

<p>First published in 1985 this user-friendly guide to coding machine language on the Atari 130XE helped many owners of the much-loved home computer achieve programming feats well beyond the limits of BASIC. Based on the MOS Technology 6502 CPU running at 1.79 MHz the 130XE was one of Atari’s famed 8-bit range - in fact the first home computer series to be designed with custom co-processor chips.</p><p>* * *</p><p>As the original publisher Melbourne House wrote:</p><p>Go beyond the limitations of BASIC and write faster more powerful space-saving programs using this guide compiled exclusively for Atari 130XE users.</p><p><em>Atari 130XE Machine Language for the Absolute Beginner </em>offers complete instruction in 6502 machine language. Each chapter includes specific examples of machine language applications which can be demonstrated and used on your own Atari 130XE.</p><p>Even without any previous experience in computer languages the easy-to-understand ‘no jargon’ format of this book will make the art of machine language programming entirely accessible.</p><p><em>Atari 130XE Machine Language for the Absolute Beginner </em>is the perfect book for anyone interested in discovering the power and potential of the Atari’s native language.</p><p>* * *</p><p>Acorn Books is proud to present its Retro Reproduction Series a collection of classic computing works from the 1980s and 90s lovingly reproduced in the 21st century. From standards of programming reference no self-respecting microcomputer programmer would be without to obscure works not found in print anywhere else these modern reprints are perfect for any connoisseur of retro computing.</p>
