Re: [Atari800-users] Implementing cartridge types from Atari800 DOC/cart.txt

[Christian G. <ch...@gr...>]

Petr,

I think Avery was asking if these cart numbers are "stable" (i.e. will 
never change).

Because they are only used in the development version of Atari800 until 
now. I guess they are, but I'm not the one to say that for certain.

regards,
chris
