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.

   The Atari 1050 is a floppy disk drive for Atari 8-bit computers released in June 1983. It is compatible with the 90 kB single-density mode of the original Atari 810 it replaced, and added a new "enhanced" or "dual density" mode that provided 130 kB.

   Aug 8, 2021 · You can also make a real disk using the Atarimax ProSystem software which is what I did. Make sure your 1050 disk drive is connected to you Atari computer with a formatted disk in the drive. Choose the first option (#1) from the CPS software menu. This will start the diagnostic process.

   The Atari 1050 disk drive was introduced in June 1983 as a replacement for the 810 disk drive. The 1050 is fully backward compatible with the 810, with the addition of a new "double density" mode of operation offering 130KiB of data storage per diskette. The "double density" mode works with a standard

   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.

   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.

   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.

   The Atari XF551 is a double-sided, doubledensity disk-drive, making it capable of storing a full 360K per disk, smashing the 130K barrier imposed on the 1050's double density mechanism with "enhanced" or "dual" density.
