Oh boy - one of those for the Atari, called 'hackerbook' was
a good referance for writing Atari 8bit device drivers. Sure was fun
to make devices interfaced to the joystick-parallel I/O port
using Hofacker as a guide. It also showed how to make your own
plug in rom carts too, IIRC. Found it in a mall bookstore around
'85.
