[comp.sys.atari.8bit] Atari 800 Serial Interface

UNCSPL@UNC.BITNET ("Scott P Leslie") (11/19/88)

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 . . .
