I am basically looking for 8bit Atari people.  And I have two questions.

1) Does anyone know what the cable looks like that you use to hook up
   your ATR8000 to an RS232 terminal instead of an Atari, for CPM?
   I believe it hooks into the SIO port of the ATR8000, but I cannot
   figure out which pins are needed... I have experimented, after changing
   the jumpers J7 and J10, but had no luck.

2) I want to control my 8bit from my ST.  My idea is to have the machine
   look to the R: instead of looking at E:, for input and output.  I have
   played with this idea and even got my R: handler to replace the E:
   vector in the HATABS ($31A-$33F) upon booting, but then I get a never
   ending flow of ERROR 133 (Device or File not Open)...
   I thought that was the way to do it...

I want to use MiNT and MGR and have my ST to use and another MGR window
devoted to another machine!

I'd really appreciate ANY help on these!
