   Nov 24, 2015 · You can make ATR files of non copy-protected disks using a real Atari drive and an SIO2PC cable/software. Just set it up so there are two drives -- the real drive and a virtual drive with an empty ATR image. Then do a regular DOS disk copy.

   Owners of a real ST can use a program called TOSDUMP.PRG to make a TOS image for their own use. This is considered legal as long as the image is not distributed and you own a legal copy of the program (ie: the ROMs).

   Feb 2, 2017 · I recently picked up an Atari 800XL and a 1050 disk drive, so I am investigating the methodology for imaging Atari disks. I have extensive experience with the ADT (Apple Disk Transfer) tool and StarCommander (C64 disk transfer).

   What is a real Atari disk?

   • A real Atari disk is a complex mess of adhesive magnetic stuff, made sense of by a dedicated floppy disk controller and then made useable by a computer in the disk drive. All these things boil the structure of the real disk down to a specific number of useable sectors for each recording surface, each of a fixed length.

   How do I copy an Atari image to a virtual drive?

   • Just set it up so there are two drives -- the real drive and a virtual drive with an empty ATR image. Then do a regular DOS disk copy. Alternatively, you can use a "Prosys-style" cable with software that can read/write from an Atari drive directly without the need for the Atari computer to be in the mix.

   How do I load a real Atari disk drive to a SIO bus?

   • 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. This disk image is included in the APE distribution package. Boot your Atari from the APE_WARP.ATR image in drive 1. When the dos-loader menu appears, select the 'MYCOPIER' program.

   Are Atari drives single sided or double sided?

   • Nearly all Atari drives are Single sided, with a read/write head reading/recording on the underside of the diskette only. A true double-sided drive provides twice as much storage per disk than a single sided drive because it makes use of two recording surfaces instead of one.

   How many 'tracks' are on an Atari disk?

   • Typically an Atari disk will contain 40 'tracks'. Each of these 'tracks' is a thin concentric circular area on the disk, larger at the edges of the disk, smaller at the hub. The computer in the Atari disk drive typically divides each of these circles up into 18 separate parts called 'sectors'. Each sector can hold 128 bytes of your data.

   Is Atari XF551 a double sided drive?

   • Atari XF551: Ataris last US released drive was a true double-sided, double-density drive. It uses 40 tracks, 18 sectors per track, 256 bytes per sector, and used BOTH sides of the disk, yielding 360k of storage per disk. The equivalent ATR is a 1440 sector, double density image.

   It was created in part to take advantage of the 1050's Dual-Density capability, by employing a single-sided, enhanced-density 128K 5.25" floppy disk drive format. Atari called this format "dual-density," but the Atari community quickly came to refer to this format as "enhanced-density" to better differentiate it from widely available 3rd-party ...
