   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.

Boot this via SIO2PC, FujiNet, or similar device on you Atari 8-bit computer. You can also make a real disk using the Atarimax ProSystem software which is what I did.

   Nintendo disputed Atari's claim in the XEGS advertisements that you can attach a disk-drive and use it as a real computer. This is true, but Atari had no disk-drives for six months or more. Apparently, when the suit was filed, Atari decided to ship the XF551 with the old DOS 2.5, since DOS-XE (or the manual for it) was not complete. The suit ...

   May 3, 2021 · The differences between the Atari 810 and 1050 (besides the fact that a 1050 is a half-height drive and the 810 is not) was the format. 1050 formats 26 sectors, 810 does 18. That meant 1010 sectors on an "enhanced" density 1050 vs. the 707 on the 810. Each sector =128 bytes. You can get 127K on a ED disk, or 88K on a SD disk.

   Oct 8, 2005 · Media change detection - Atari solved it little unusual, and today only few drives support it. Point is in way how WP line works - if it will change status by disk change it is OK, otherwise Atari will not detect disk change what may result in data corruption on it. It stays for non-write protected floppies.

   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 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.

   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.

   Is Atari XF551 a double sided drive?
