	If your 340 runs HP-UX, one way of transferring data to and
	from your Atari is to use the MINIX tos program. This program
	will compile on your 340 and allow it to access an Atari 3.5"
	floppy placed in a 9122 floppy disc drive, or in the floppy
	drive of a 9133 hard disc. Since your Atari uses single sided
	discs, it might work with a 9121 too. 

	How do you get "tos" onto your HP-UX computer?

	Well, I used a double sided drive in an Atari to write "tos"
	to an IBM PC 3.5" disc, then used the HP-UX dos utilities to
	read the disc on an HP-UX machine. The well known Atari
	terminal emulator "UNITERM" would allow you to do it using
	RS232, if you can get the machines attached somehow.

	If you are really brave, you could try to port the MINIX code
	that deals with the disc to HP-UX, then you could just mount
	the MINIX discs onto the HP-UX file system. (That's the ideal
	solution if you can be bothered, because then you could use
	HP-UX as you development envirnment.)
