Polish Atari 8-bit Scene standard are 2 POKEYs, for emulators 2 POKEYs are standard too. OK, Atari 8-bit from factory has only one POKEY but it was standard 20 years ago ;)
And I am sorry, buy that still is the standard.
it's scene-standard - for about ten years :)
I am sorry, but Heaven is right at this one - standard means
no modifications. So 2xPOKEY Atari is not standard to me.
HDD (as device driven by CIO/SIO) and FDD are included in standard
but 2 POKEY or AY etc. are not. So 'back to tape recorders' is not very
good argument :P . Regarding fact that ANYTHING what will load from
HDD/FDD can be converted to tape (just more or less rewinding) :P.
It does not much sense, but still possible, because is supported.
Same about 16k mem - noone told you there has to be 64k.
You can check it at $6A and $02E4 AFAIR how much base mem you
have, and just say 'not enough memory' if programm requires more.
Term 'polish scene standard' sounds better, but was established by who ?
About 15, maybe 25 guys max with their modified and 'accelerated' comps ?
No, thanks ;). I will remain with standard as 'no weird modifications' :).
So program that won't run (regarding memory requirements) on plain
Atari because there is no some specific extension is NON standard.
