The ATARI Accountant brings sophisticated computerized accounting to the small business or professional person and has been priced at $1,499.85. Each of its three components, which are available separately, is priced at $499.95. They include systems for accounts and inventory control. All prices mentioned are manufacturer's suggested retail prices in the U.S. only. The three packages are: General Accounting System CX401, Accounts Receivable System CX402 and Inventory Control System CX403. Each package consists of several diskettes, please see below. The software __requires__ an ATARI 800 Computer, [an Atari 815 Dual Disk|https://atariwiki.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=Atari%20815], an Atari 850 Interface Module and an Atari 825 80-Column Printer. Minimum RAM requirement: 48 K\\
\\
In sum The Atari Accountant Series consists out of 13 SSDD diskettes, which is equivalent to __26 SSSD diskettes__! This makes The Atari Accountant the most expansive Atari program of all times and the largest of it's time. Just box CX401 is found up to now only (2019). Any help in completing the 'The Atari Accountant' is very welcome, anytime, anyplace and everywhere.\\

Before you intend to go further, you really have to read Bill Lange's incredible [article|http://atari8bitads.blogspot.de/search/label/Atari%20Accountant%20Series] about The Atari Accountant series. If you do not, you won't understand anything of The Atari Accountant, not even a single bit! Please take the time, you won't be disappointed. Bill has done a deep, deep investigation, which only a few Atari users are able to. That is scientific investigation and deep knowledge at its best. AtariWiki highly(!) recommend this site. The site is vital for a deeper understanding of the boxes Atari made. You would miss a big part of Atari's history by not reading it!

- Atari 800 with 16 KiB RAM: $759 ; unit was changed from KB to KiB\\
- Upgrade to 48 KiB RAM: 2 x each $149 for a 16 KiB module, therefore: $298\\
- Atari 815 Dual Disk Drive: $1199 ; frop down from $1499 a little earlier!\\
- Atari 825 80-Column Printer: $779\\

In sum: $4,870 as value from 1981. Assuming an inflation rate of 4 % over the decades (just multiply with 1.04), we come to:\\

(##) This is the(!) master example about the __lifetime of 5.25 in diskettes__. Kay Savetz did work very hard and extremely careful on the original diskettes. But sadly, we discovered destroyed sectors not the way we know for normal, but through aging! This means, we had data loss, not to recover under just any circumstances. Exactly, what was mentioned in the movie [Blade Runner 2049|https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1856101/?ref_=nv_sr_1]. Please don't let that happen!!! Please support Farb and his passionate [team of preservation|http://a8preservation.com/#/guides/diskDumping], so we can provide these outstanding programs for generations to come!\\
\\
On the other hand, we had gigantic luck in many ways. :-) First, Atari wisely delivered a backup diskette of major and important diskettes with the box, so we had 2 of them and second, we could find out, that the lost sectors due to aging are asked for in the program for protection purposes. Therefore, no sector with data was lost through aging, which contains data and third, we were able to copy good sectors from version 1 to damaged sectors from version 2 and vice versa! Therefore, this was very, very close! We say, it was 5 past 12! So, it is fair to say, that the __maximum lifetime of 5.25 in diskettes is 35 years__ under best storage conditions. Summarized, the time to act is now or never! Please join the team.\\

The project has shown clearly and without any doubt, how important the preservation is and that time is key! It seems, that 35 years at best possible storage is the upper limit for 5.25 in diskettes. Therefore, if there is someone out there, who is in the possession of the remaining boxes CX402 and CX403, please be so kind and contact us. We appreciate your support very, very much! The time is now or never. :-)

With The Atari Accountant the evidence is given, the Atari computer is not just a game machine. Indeed, it is much more than this! If some decisions have been made different, we now would speak of HCs instead of PCs. The 1982 movie of [Blade Runner|https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1] showed the vision and outlook the creators had at that time.

- Ryan Goolevitch and Joachim Baßmann for their genius on how to get the f… data from the very special disks of the 815 double drive; a milestone!\\
- DjayBee from AtariAge for making the disks runnable with 'normal' drives. :-) With this and others major performances (e. g. [SynCalc+ from 1985|https://atariwiki.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SynCalc]), it is fair to appoint him as the King in this very important field\\
- AtariAge, without their work and platform, we could never have connected us to make this all possible. Thank you really so much!\\
- Roland B. Wassenberg for creating the pdf files for easy in use\\

The ATARI 815 Double Disk Drive ; The Atari 815 Dual Disk Drive was an absolute beast. It wasn’t just two Atari 810 single-sided, single-density (SSSD), 90K capacity, 5 ¼ inch drive mechanisms in one case, it was two single-sided, double-density (SSDD), 180K capacity drive mechanisms. It required Atari CX8202 certified double-density 5 ¼ floppy diskettes and the __Atari DOS 2.0D__ disk operating system.\\
