	I am desirous of using the (now inexpensive) Atari 800XL as a
	(now inexpensive) grafix display for my CP/M machine.  It's a
	sin, tho', to ignore the game playing potential of the Atari,
	so...

	I would like to write a program under CP/M which watches the
	Atari serial bus and acts as a file server, storing a virtual
	Atari disk under CP/M as a 90K file.  A grafix program on the
	Atari could read commands from a file with a grafix program on
	my CP/M machine acting as a file.  To do this I need to know
	much about what the 800XL is saying on it's serial bus.

	Anyone got any suggestions as to where I look?
