There are two ways:
1) Transmit information over a serial line. You will need a serial interface
   for this (850 I believe...), a cable (nul modem) and a communications
   package...
2) Information interchange via magnetic media:
 a) Have an IBM read Atari floppies. A program to do this seems to be
    available, but I have no information as to availability/functionality
 b) Have an Atari drive read/write IBM floppies. To do so you need an
    enhancement for your drive plus software. Both are available from
    'Happy'. I do not have their address/full name though. Read the ads
    in Atari Magazines :-)))
