I've connected the atari serial bus to my heathkit-100, mostly successfully.
I still get a moderate amount of checksum errors during data transfers, but
that's the fault of my not-yet-complete disk server program.

The atari serial bus is actually 19.2k baud, 8 bits, no parity.  The only
problem is that it is running at TTL levels, and not RS-232.  You can solve
this problem by attaching the cable between your computer's uart and it's
ttl-to-rs232 converter.  You need to connect ground, send, receive, and one
more status line (it indicates the beginning of a command packet transfer).

If you want more specific information, just drop a line.
