Introducing the Atari Games PREFERRED PARTS REPORT, a guide for helping you
chose which components you should use on new designs. The report will be
published in hard-copy periodically, but you can search an up-to-date copy
that is compiled each night by adding the following to your LOGIN.COM:
Add: $PREFERRED :==SEARCH ATARI$AVL:PREFERRED.LIS
Then after your next login (or $RESTART), you can search by Atari part number,
generic number, or description. All you have to do is type:
PREFERRED item
where 'item' is the text or number your looking for. You can search for as many
items as you like at once by separating each item with a comma. You can display
the entire report by searching for " " (quote-space-quote).
examples: $ PREFERRED eprom
$ PREFERRED 6-32,8-32
$ PREFERRED 137001
Upper case/Lower case doesn't matter, and you can use any standard DCL
SEARCH qualifiers including:
/HIGHLIGHT=UNDER will underscore matching text
/LOG will tell you how many matches it found
/OUTPUT=file-spec will put the results into a file
/MATCH=AND will only find a record that matches all
the items/numbers that you specify
(ex: PREFERRED/MATCH=AND eprom,128kx8)
If you want a new hard-copy of the report between regular printings, you can
send ATARI$AVL:PREFERRED.LIS to any suitable printer (please note, the report
is 102 columns wide, so it wont fit vertically on an 8-1/2" x 11" sheet).
