A friend of mine recently got a second hand (slightly modified) Atari 800.
I was wondering if there was any place that you could purchase/order the
manuals for it.  I realize that it is a long shot, but I thought I would
give it a try.

My primary reason is to find out the pin configurations of the video
output and the serial port.

I want to connect it to my printer (C. Itoh 8510A), which has a Cardco G+
interface made for a Commodore 64.

Is there any place that I could buy cables which connect into the serial port?
I tried Radio Shack...
        I show the disk drive cable to the salesman...
        me :  "Do you have any of these"
  salesman :  "I never SEEN anything like that before"

After using the Atari 800, I'm surprised it didn't become more popular than
it did.  I like it, but it is a strange animal after using a Commodore 64 for
5+ years.

                                Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
