Atari 800XL User manual?

[tezza]

Hi,

Can anyone point me to a PDF of a user manual for an Atari 800XL? I've tried in all the usual places and googled for one but with no luck.

A scanned manual on the 1050 drive and DOS 2.5 would also be good.

Do such things exist?

I know that this is a REALLY old thread, but I was wondering if you ever found a copy of this? I came across a complete system including manuals at the thrift store this weekend for $15. I have the Owner's Guide scanned in and i will scan the 1050 Disk Drive manual in when I get a chance. If you do still need it, you can get it here:

The manual scanned in and converted to PDF at just over 70 megs, so I have also posted a ZIP compressed version that weighs in at 40 megs. I may try to scan it at a little smaller resolution if I get a spare minute or thirty.

I looked all over before scanning this myself to make sure no one else had already done the hard work, and since I couldn't find one, I figured maybe you never did either. In any event, I am sure someone will need it...

I managed to get hold of a real one in the end, but thanks for posting anyway.
