I am looking at an inexpensive CP/M system for home. I also have an
800XL. I understand that a CP/M box with a 19.2Kb serial port can be
made to look like an Atari disk drive. I have seen some material
from CPMUG to support such an application. Anyone else done this?
Benefits/drawbacks? I would suspect that copy-protected material
would probably choke in this arrangement, but that is not a concern.
Please reply by mail. Thanks in advance.
