This chapter will cover those aspects of Atari software programming that
can only be accomplished by accessing hardware registers directly. In most
cases, Atari has provided OS calls to manipulate the hardware. When an OS
call exists to access hardware, it should always be used to ensure upward
and backward compatibility. Keep in mind that access to hardware registers
is limited to those applications operating in supervisor mode only (except
where noted otherwise).

Besides those hardware registers discussed here, a complete list of I/O
registers, system variables, and interrupt vectors are contained in
Appendix B: Memory Map.
