I'm thinking maybe the design is that it's supposed to be running, fail 
onto DC power, then never come back once the DC power is exausted. Perhaps 
to prevent it from cycling back on if the battery builds up enough power?

Hey, are you bored enough to build a SIO2PC cable Jody? I have the parts I 
think?

Although the new Max232 have some of the caps built in.

I have the Atari cable to be cut as well.

It lets the PC act as a floppy drive (actually 8 of them) or hard drive, 
to the Atari 8 bits.
