1. • • 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.

   Nov 24, 2015 · The best way to consume ATR files on a real Atari is by using a "drive simulator" that looks like a real disk drive to the Atari. You can do this with the aforementioned SIO2PC cable/software (which requires a PC) or you can use a standalone device like Lotharek's: http://www.lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=63 .

   Oct 7, 2016 · i.e. an image I could download directly on an Atari and write to a real disk. And if it's a special format that cannot go to a real floppy but can be mounted only by an emulator that's a daft way to do preservation, tying the preserved image to a software emulator app instead of the real hardware.

   A common workaround is to convert all the data contained on a disk (including special formatting, boot sectors, hidden tracks, etc...) into a disk image file. The most common format for this is the .ST file format from PaCifiST.

   Which Atari Games were never released on cartridge?

   • No registered users viewing this page. I was under the impression that Atari 800 games came in three forms: Cart Files - ROM/COM/XEX/CART Disk Files - ATR/ATX Tape Files - CAS But then I stumbled upon some COM games that (according to AtariMania) were never released on cartridge: Air Support, Desmond's Dungeons, Encounter, Ghost Chase...

   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 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.

   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 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.

   May 3, 2021 · Atari ST diskdrives are not compatible in any way to a standard Atari XL and XE computer. An ST drive is just a bare disk-mechanic (like Amiga/PC) while the floppycontroller is built into the computer, where the XL/XE drives are ''intelligent'' devices and have their own processors.
