Well,
If you really want to interface another brand of disk drive to
your Atari 800, then it will take a lot of work. I worked on a project
where we built 3 custom computers to hang off the Atari serial bus,
but it was a big hassle. It would definately be less expensive
(esp. in the area of time) to buy one. However, if you really want
to do this, then get hold of a copy of Atari's Hardware Techinical
Reference Manual. It contains all the needed information about the
serial protocols, timing, and other such stuff. Good luck . . .
