The IEEE-488 interface for the ATARI ST cartridge port is now completed and
tested. We have contracted a private company to manufacture and market the
product. Here are the details:

        The IEEE-488 interface is a module fully shielded in a metal box
        measuring about 4.6x3.6x1.1 inches. It connects to the cartridge
        port of the Atari ST and provides full talk/listen/control capability
        to the IEEE-488 bus through a standard 24-pin connector.

        It allows the ST to be used as a low-cost programmable controller
        or data logger for IEEE-488 instruments in applications NOT requiring
        a hardware interrupt facility.

        Software supplied with the module includes sample driver programs
        written in TDI Modula-2 and GFA-Basic to send and receive character
        strings to and from instruments on the bus.
