[comp.sys.atari.8bit] Indus GT Rumors...

sac585@uxf.cso.uiuc.edu (04/27/89)

Back in 1983 when I purchased my Indus GT drive, there were rumors of 
potential "upgrades" for the drive, allowing such things as a complete Z80
based computer running CP/M which would hook up with some expansion
connector on the Indus' circuit board. Having been out of touch with the
Atari world for some time now, I was wondering if anything neat for the
GT ever did materialize. Also, was any sort of technical information on the GT
ever published?

The INDUS GT CP/M upgrade is definitely a reality.  I spoke recently to 
someone in the local ACORN (Atari Computer Owners of Rochester, New York)
user group who has upgraded his drive.  I hope to get more information 
soon so I can upgrade my INDUS to CP/M status.  When I do, I'll share the
information with everyone here.  Maybe someone here already has that info
and could post it?  

(it'll seem kind of odd to be using my computer as  a TERMINAL to my
 disk drive!!!)
