In the September 1984 issue of the "Personal Computer World" magazine a #BASIC converter chart has been published as a poster. I was searching for that for years. Now some people from the #facebook BASIC group managed to find a proper scan an re-made it:

I did a similar thing with the original image and made a 300dpi PDF of it:

I bought the new #Atari #VCS konsole and just tried it out.

The enclosed 10-game cartridge works properly. But the console seems not compatible with #Atari7800 carts and does not suppart the Harnoniy SD cartridge. How disappointing!

I brought my #Mega65 to Heidelberg to prepare an own #BreakOut #BASIC implementation (as a kind of quintessence from my latest research). I will exhibit that at next year's #VCFe in Munich.
