With the price of a Atari 400 dropping below $300, it seems that the 400 would make a nice peripheral on a CPM system. Could the ATARI OS (or DOS) be modified so that it accepts input from a RS232 port, instead of from the keyboard? Could I read in ATARI disks from CPM? Could I download programs into the ATARI, and then run them? I would think that a 6502 cross assembler would be available under CPM. If anyone has tried this, or has comments/suggestions, I would appreciate your response. Tnx, Ed
