Each drive must have a unique drive ID, but need not start at drive 1. Turn on the Atari disk drive (s) and insert the disk (s) you wish to image. If using more than one drive, insert ALL the disks you wish to image. To create ATR images, use the 'Create ATR image (s) from Real Disks' menu option.
Nov 24, 2015 · Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Hi Scott3555, 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. Alternatively, you can use a "Prosys-style" cable with ...
Atari 400 / 800 disk vs cartridge. I am still fairly new to the atari computer scene. I have noticed some games are available in both cartridge and disk format. Karateka for example. The cartridge is more expensive so I went with the disk version. Assuming a person has the computer and disk drive is there any preferred format disk vs cartridge?
The Atari XF551 disk drive was introduced in June 1987 as a replacement for. the 1050 disk drive. The XF551 is fully backward compatible with the 1050, with the addition of two new modes of operation: a true "double density" mode. offering 180KiB of data storage per (single-sided) diskette (fully compatible. with 3rd party double density drives ...
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.
The 810, Atari's original release, is a single density drive that offers 18 sectors per track and 128 bytes per sector. With 720 sectors per disk, it has a capacity of 92,160 bytes. The 815 is a double density drive that offers 18 sectors per track and 256 bytes per sector. It has the same 720 sectors per disk and a capacity of 184,320 bytes.

Dec 5, 2018 · For ST single drive equipped systems this needs to be a 1. If you find it hard to obtain DD type disks but have an abundance of HD disks on hand there is a trick you can do to use those disks on your ST disk drive. Then only real physical difference between HD and DD 3.5" floppies is a single hole.
