I have an ATR8000 and an ATR8500. I can help you with your project and
can provide docs if you need them.
No. The ATR can only access drives connected to it's own controller.
Atari drives are only useable when you are running the Atari as a
computer. In CP/M, only the standard drives off the card-edge connector
are accessible.
Remember that you need to 'build' CP/M for your drive types by running the
DDSysgen command and following the prompts.

Jeff
