Mee Tooo!

I'm interested in this for 2 reasons:
1) I'd like to get into learning to program some Atmel microcontrollers I 
have, and
2) being able to communicate with my 'oldie but goodie' Tandy Model 200 
laptop - eventually making a Winders and/or Linux floppy drive emulator 
(the floppy drive worked at 19200 thru the serial port...)

Thanks,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
