To locate pin 1, 
	while looking at the back of the unit, pin 1 is on the top right side.


This is the only information I have.
NO!! I don't know anymore about the use of the pins.
NO! I don't know if the pinout is the EXACT same on the 800XL.


This is the only page of the Field Service Manual I have.  I recieved it 
from Atari on special request.

Does anybody know any more about the bus??

I will post a summary of any replies I get.

Am I missing something, or shouldn't there be a +5v pin somewhere to power
things like external memory.
