the ﬁrst real freezer for the Atari, it is also the only extension a freak needs to get the

optimum and maximum usage out of his Atari. This is because apart from freezer, the

board also oﬀers a socket for an Oldrunner and for 256k of RAM so an 800 XL can be

extended to up to 320k.

By using three ASICs containing the equivalent of over 40 TTL circuits and by avoiding

a costly multi-layer PCB, all this could be implemented at an unbeatable price. In addition,

thanks to the very powerful memory management that is anyway needed for the freezer,

the computer doesn’t need to be opened.

The careful same tuning of all components can be found in the built-in software which

consists of the freezer, a mini-DOS and a debugger. Combined with the hardware, this

power-tool gives an unprecedented possibility of control over programs to the user. That’s

why anyone who’s seen the

TURBO FREEZER

XL in action, wanted to have one as well.

The thrill of having total control over the computer, even though the programmer did

not want this, is well worth the price. And then there’s also the money save from buying

separate extensions that would be needed to get the same functions that are present in

the TURBO FREEZER XL.

More about this in the description of the individual functions! I wish every proud owner

lots of fun with the most fascinating product that was ever available for the Atari.

Munich, May 1987
