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 · Most of these applications seem to have been written for the PC but I have also seen Linux and Amiga ports, particularly where the source code has been made available. I guess the software above will have generated most of the ATR's in existence.

   Dec 5, 2018 · I noticed there were no threads for helping in making and using ST disk images on real, unmodified, ST hardware. So I thought I would share what I do. ST owners won't need a ST floppy emulator for this.

   • This is EXCELLENT kamakazi, thank you for posting this!
   • You are most welcome. It can be time consuming to setup and learn how to do it but the end results are worth it. Besides, we need more ST stuff her...
   • Awesome job. The only thing I would add is that HD floppy disks can be used too. Just put a piece of masking tape over the hole. I know it can be v...
   • Thanks for telling us this tutorial. Now, if I can, I can create my own floppy disks with titles on them.
   • The only thing to keep in mind is if there was any sort of copy protection schemes used they may still be present. So you may still need original c...
   • Just a small FYI. I updated the post with online resources selling DD and HD floppies. If you use them please give feedback. Thanks!

   Sep 17, 2014 · The drive I've imaged used an ICD host adaptor and ICD driver. I believe (although I can't check because I can't view the drive on a real Atari) that the ICD driver was in the 'Auto' folder in the HDD. However, if I image the driver floppy and let Hatari boot that, the driver tries to start and then exits because it can't find an ICD host adaptor.

   May 22, 2010 · A pasti image, is the game like it was intended by its former creator, with a custom disk format, protection and so on. You can only image a game in pasti because. while you can't WRITE BACK the original disks, you can read them, with all they have internally.

   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.

   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.

   How do I load a real Atari disk drive to a SIO bus?

   • Attach your real Atari disk drive to the SIO bus, configure it as drive 2. Turn on the real disk drive. Load the APE_WARP.ATR image into drive 1. This disk image is included in the APE distribution package. Boot your Atari from the APE_WARP.ATR image in drive 1. When the dos-loader menu appears, select the 'MYCOPIER' program.
