[net.micro.atari] Emulating an 850 disk drive

woody%Juliet@HAMLET.CALTECH.EDU (01/28/86)

  Hi out there...
  I have an Atari 400 (!) which I picked up a while ago real cheap.  I was
wondering if anyone has any information, pointers to info, etc., about the
850 disk drive, how it electrically hooks up, how it talks to the 400/800
computers, etc.  I heard rumors that it talks using RS232 protocol at 19,200
baud.  Is this true?  I want to try emulating the disk using a Macintosh,
so I can use a 6502 cross-compiler I'm writing.
  Thank you in advance.
