I recently bought a second hand ATR8000.  It is living up to expectations; but
I want more!!  How can I write my own RS-232 I/O routines, my own disk
utilities, my own printer spoolers, my own ATARI terminal emulators when I
don't know the necessary I/O addresses or the ATARI to ATR8000 protocol??
How does the ATARI tell the ATR8000 to boot the CPM disk?

Does anyone have any insight into these problems they could share with me?
Is there a technical information manual that I should buy?  Is there a
schematic, or other related technical information, available from SWP?

Thanks.
