I'm an Spanish 800XL owner (whose English is not very good, by the way), who got really surprised by the amount of still Atari 8-bits friends there. I must confess that I parked my old machine when I left the University and started working in a image processing research group, with PC's and Sun workstations. Reading the news, I found that it's possible to establish some kind of communication between a PC and my old 8-bits machine. I would be very thankful if somebody could help me in this way. I would also apreciate any kind of information concerning the possibility of displaying gray-scale images on the screen. My stuff is very reduced: I have the previous mentioned 800XL, a disk drive (1050 I think), the 850 module for connecting a parallel printer, and some broken joysticks. Thanks in advance, Jose Manuel. E-mail: jmm@gti.upm.es post-address: Jose Manuel Menendez | /------ -------- o Grupo de Tratamiento de Imagenes | / / / E.T.S.I.
