Speaking of old Atari equipment, does anyone remember the ATR8000? I had one,
and it was a real blessing. It was a Z80 based CP/M expander for the Atari,
though I never used it for CP/M. I used it for the built in disk drive 
interface which allowed me to use standard disk drives with my Atari, the 
RS232 port for modem and printer, etc. I had mine with two Shugart DS/DD
5.25 inch floppy drives. It was an interesting piece of equipment.

Also, does anyone still have copies of the COMPUTE! series of books on the
Atari 8bits? I remember Inside Atari and a couple others... they were
really great. Too bad you can't get inside information like that for
todays computers so cheaply! (the Mac I'm on now, for example!)
