ANALOG Computing was probably the most popular Atari 8-bit computer magazine, at least in North America. However, it also covered the Atari ST at times and that includes Atari's display at COMDEX 1985. Also prominently displayed at COMDEX that year was the Atari 130XE. The XE line represented the last of the Atari 8-bit computers.

The Feburary 1986 issue of ANALOG Computing includes:

  • Unicheck - ANALOG Computing's universal checksum program.
