   What is a 'Disk Image'? 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.

   Mar 21, 2008 · Hi, is there a Reference somewhere how an ATR Image should look like for the various Density formats, and what violations of the original Format exists, caused by which programs? I have the feeling the ATR Format is a real mess, because it has never been documented clearly in a way that programme...

   The Atari 8-bit computers, formally launched as the Atari Home Computer System, [2] are a series of home computers introduced by Atari, Inc., in 1979 with the Atari 400 and Atari 800. [3] The architecture is designed around the 8-bit MOS Technology 6502 CPU and three custom coprocessors which provide support for sprites , smooth ...

   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).

   Aug 18, 2022 · Atari's answer was the 520ST, which had a mouse, a floppy disk drive, and an option for a color monitor. Atari PCs were supposed to be a follow-up to the wildly successful 2600 game console, but the computer business just wasn't it for Atari.

   What is the difference between a disk image and ATR disk image?

   • A disk image contains only the part of a real disk the Atari Computer can see or use, its fully processed data. An ATR disk image contains 16 bytes of data that identify it as an Atari disk image, and the remainder is every byte of useable data off the original diskette, stored in the original order it was stored on the disk.

   How do Atari floppy disks work?

   • Atari disks, like nearly all other floppy disk computers, uses a system of 'tracks' and 'sectors' to physically organize data on magnetic disks. 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.

   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.

   What peripherals does Atari use?

   • During the lifetime of the 8-bit series, Atari released a large number of peripherals including cassette tape drives, 5.25-inch floppy drives, printers, modems, a touch tablet, and an 80-column display module. Atari's peripherals use the proprietary Atari SIO port, which allows them to be daisy chained together.

   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.
