I've been having a lot of fun last week browsing through old Antic and Analog magazines (downloaded from Atarimania). I used to own hundreds of Atari magazines in the 80s/90s, but I threw them all out, kind of hoping I'd miss them one day (rather than tripping over them all the time).
Luckily, we have a lot of online repositories these days, best of all Atarimania, from where I downloaded "back" all my classic issues of Compute!, Antic, Analog, Page 6, Atari User, etc. From this place I would like to thank everybody who made that possible!!
It would be nice if some German magazines would also show up on site like this. I used to have lots of issues of "HomeComputer" and "Happy Computer!". Also some "Atari Magazin" issues, but these were never particularly interesting (to me at least). As it turns out, "Atari Magazin" is the only one showing up...
Now to my question: I recall a (ML) monitor program from "HomeComputer" called "hc6502" or something? Does that ring a bell with any of you guys? I do believe I saw it on an .atr disk some time ago, but I'm afraid I don't remember any of the commands, so a scan of the magazine would be great! Or at least a scan of the page, or some other (text)file? I remember doing some simple "hacking" with this tool, even though I don't remember much about that era. Something like loading large binary files into memory, changing a few bytes, then writing it back, etc.
I would really like to try my hand at stuff like that again.
Thanks everybody for listening, and thanks for keeping the Atari alive on AtariAge!!!
