- Send a message to atari@atari.archive.umich.edu with the word
- help
- on a line by itself. Getting the files from the Sun to the 8-bit is the
- tricky part, unless you can arrange to connect the two of them by modem or
- null-modem cable. If you have an MS-DOS compatible PC, and a true double-
- density drive on the 8-bit, there are programs that allow the PC to read and
- write Atari disks.
