Method #1: (Using APE or APE'98, the Atari Computer, and a real Atari disk drive) Load APE and attach your APE interface, being sure to verify it is working. Attach your real Atari disk drive to the SIO bus, configure it as drive 2. Turn on the real disk drive. Load the APE_WARP.ATR image into drive 1.
Sep 29, 2018 · Once you have downloaded an ATR file load it into APE by clicking the load button (i.e. the file folder icon). This places into virtual disk drive 1. Step 7. Boot your Atari! If all is working it should start beeping and load the file. That is it! Comments. A fun thing to do is to copy images loaded this way to real disks.
Make sure the drive is connected to the computer (with an SIO cable) Make sure the drive is Drive 1 Put the floppy in the drive and close the door. Turn on the computer. The drive may make some seeking noises and the computer should start beeping (if not, turn up the TV/monitor volume) At this point, you'll see a game, a DOS menu or a READY prompt.
Mar 31, 2024 · Seventh, click on the disk icon next to 1: (drive 1) and load an ATR file. Then, turn on the Atari just as you would for booting a disk from an 810 or 1050 floppy drive (e.g. holding down the Option button to disable BASIC on the 800XL). Note that you can also simply drag and drop your files into the drive slots.

Back in 2008, Bob!k (Robert Petružela) & Raster (Radek Štěrba) of CPU, created the original SDrive. It won the Abbuc hardware contest that year and the schematics, source code, and designs were all released publicly. This spurred the creation of a couple of improved versions; the SDrive-NUXX in 2009 by c0nsumer, the SDrive Micro in 2012 by santosp,...
The SDrive-MAX is a simple device to make, there is a little soldering but nothing above beginner level. By default the SDrive-MAX ties up the SIO bus of your Atari; no other devices plugged in to SIO will work. There are simple workarounds for that, which will make the SDrive-MAX a good neighbour, but it does require a little more effort to make. ...
Once you have built your SDrive-MAX, it will need to have the SDrive-MAX software on it for it to work. You can get the latest release of the software from the GitHub page of the developers. The latest release is always at the top, you want the zip file from the assets section. Download it and unzip it; you will find some documents and five folders...
The SDrive-MAX can be controlled either by the touch screen on the device or directly on the Atari. By default “D0:” is enabled, this will make the Atari boot to the SDrive menu.
I genuinely believe there is no need to buy an SDrive-MAX. It’s an easy and fun project that even complete novices can have a go at. The skills and tools required are cheap and easy to use; a working one can be made in less than an hour (3D printing aside), but I understand some people just do not want, don’t have the time, or aren’t confident enou...
The main discussion at atariageThe main discussion at abbucThe SDrive-MAX is an excellent hardware addon for the Atari 8-bit range of computers, it can imitate 810 and 1050 floppy disk drives (up to 4 of them) and a 1010 tape drive allowing the loding of ATR/XEX/CAS files on real Atari hardware. It can now also load ATX files with accurate timing.
