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.
Apr 7, 2020 · And not to forget 1 GB limitation of Mega STE or Stacy internal ACSI-SCSI adapter. You can not even buy now so low capacity new SD card. Possible speeds: In case of Ataris, speed of hard disk transfers, using ACSI port (so DMA chip) is limited mostly by DMA chip max speed. And it is 2 MB/sec in peak.
ST DOS also sets aside one sector on each disk, called the "boot record," which has information concerning the format of the disk plus a program to load the system at startup time. Adding it all up, we see that ST DOS uses up 18 sectors, or 9K, of raw disk space. All remaining space – the data space – is available for user file storage ...
Feb 7, 2014 · All what Atari did is option for 1-sector clusters in some later TOS versions (don't remember at moment which), but it is not so big improvement. Something interesting, related: I had troubles exactly because AHDI large sectors when developed Video/Audio playback SW for STE. With it disk speed is crucial - need data rate about 1 MB/sec.
