Hi All, I have a couple of 8bit atari's at home that my kids use for games and such, but they are getting a little older and I may be retiring the Panasonic printer from my PC in favor of a Laser printer. I purchased a used 'TRAK' floppy drive awhile back for them, which has worked well. On the back of the drive ther is a connector for another drive (looks like you need only an apropriate ribbon cable and a floppy with power supply [ie it has the electronics for talking to the Atari in the first drive] and there is a Printed Circuit board edge connection for a printer. Has anyone got documentation on these two ports so that I could make use of them??? And for the external second drive anyone know the type of drive needed ??? (SSDD or DSDD) .... Also I would be interested in information on capabilities of various "DOSs" and where I might collect them. I would be willing to pay reasonable copy charges for the above documentation (unless you have a good discription that can be emailed). Please email me direct: hays@apollo.hp.com or hplabs!hpubvwa!hpuslua!hays John D. Hays
