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 . . . . Scott P. Leslie (UNCSPL@UNC) Jax
