[net.micro.atari] Atari - CP/M connection

<Here, line eater .. here, boy .... >

I am looking at an inexpensive CP/M system for home.  I also have an
800XL.  I understand that a CP/M box with a 19.2Kb serial port can be
made to look like an Atari disk drive.  I have seen some material
from CPMUG to support such an application.  Anyone else done this?
Benefits/drawbacks?  I would suspect that copy-protected material
would probably choke in this arrangement, but that is not a concern.
Please reply by mail.  Thanks in advance.

Never heard any more about this.  Since I have an Atari and an 820-II I am interested.

Denny,

Due to other priorities, this project has been idle for awhile. I do
intend to get back to it - but can't say exactly when.
