Hi All,

I have a couple of 8bit atari's at home that my kids use for games and
such, but they are getting a little older and I may be retiring the
Panasonic printer from my PC in favor of a Laser printer.  I purchased a
used 'TRAK' floppy drive awhile back for them, which has worked well.
On the back of the drive ther is a connector for another drive (looks
like you need only an apropriate ribbon cable and a floppy with
power supply [ie it has the electronics for talking to the Atari in the
first drive] and there is a Printed Circuit board edge connection for a
printer.

Has anyone got documentation on these two ports so that I could make use
of them???  And for the external second drive anyone know the type of
drive needed ??? (SSDD or DSDD) ....

Also I would be interested in information on capabilities of various
"DOSs" and where I might collect them.

I would be willing to pay reasonable copy charges for the above
documentation (unless you have a good discription that can be emailed).

Please email me direct: hays@apollo.hp.com or
