Howdy!
I don't know what the magicard you got came with documentation
wise, but it looks like AtariAge has a pretty big chunk of
information (musta been someone's personal interest ;-)
http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=281
Includes the original doc, and version of the programs.
It's a very cool idea, like a power version of "BASIC
Programming", but I wonder if entering any kind of real
program might be waaaaay to laborious to be useful?
Back in the day, something like this might be a unique
way of playing with a 2600, but now it seems like more of
a novelty when we have such a powerful arsenal of tools
to code with.
(Actually, I'm not sure how much of that is close to
'programming native' and how much is in the special
environment the cart sets up...)
Anyway, don't mean to sound like a wet blanket...it is a
very nifty thing, and there might be some very cool things
to do with it.

Yeah, pretty cool!
