The team at AtariArchives.org is thrilled to announce that the full text 
of the classic book _The Computer Controller Cookbook_ by Tom & Kelda 
Riley is now online at 
     http://www.atariarchives.org/ccc/

Published in 1983 by Creative Computing Press, this hard-to-find book 
shows how to build your own controllers for Apple // and Atari 8-bit 
computers. 

Chapters include instructions for building an airplane wheel, sketch 
pad, race car steering wheel, foot pedals, sound-activated controller, 
and joysticks. There are also chapters on rebuilding paddles and 
joysticks, converters for using Atari joysticks on Apple computers (and 
vice versa), and more. Chapter 14 is an electronics tutorial that tells 
how to adapt the controllers for use on VIC-20, IBM PC, Radio Shack, and 
other computers.

This is the 11th classic computing book available at AtariArchives.org.

Also: we're looking for Apple //-loving volunteers who can help us put 
more classic Apple books online. Contact us at www.savetz.com/contact/
for details.
