Hi,
In the past, I know in the Netherlands there was published a book called "Atari Peeks & Pokes" from publisher Data Becker. I like to have this book or a digital copy. Does someone know if this book is available in PDF format?

You can find the book (in german language) sometimes at eBay for a few Euro. But... don´t take it. This book is full of errors - these errors are sometimes the reason why listings in magazines (for type-them-in) won´t work :evil:

Go to the Download section / Public Downloads (here at abbuc.de) and you will find the digital revised version of the Atari Profibuch (Sybex). It´s one of the best books availible and a lot of corrections, improvements and side-infos were added by the community. It´s free.

The Altirra Hardware manual is also very extensive and detailed as is "Mapping the Atari" (which is not completely error-free but still a lot better than the Data Becker book. (I remember browsing through it when it came out and was astonished about the errors - I would have assumed that they had read what was available on the US market then.
