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.
Dec 29, 2008 · But, why not do it like this: 1) format a disk in DOS 2.x or MyDOS format 90k - up to 16 Megabytes. 2) load MyPicoDOS.COM from DOS !! (the same DOS you used to format the disk) 3) when loaded, type in "1" to write Mypicodos (the Picodos.SYS file) to disk, then type 1-9 to write it to drive 1-9.
Jul 24, 2015 · So the next logical step is to allow Altirra to use 10502PC to talk to real SIO devices! Then you can use archiver to copy from an ATX virtual CHIP drive in D1 to a REAL CHIP drive in D2! It has been suggested already, but Phaeron is not very fond of the idea. Search some of the later Altirra threads.
Oct 9, 2020 · Given that an Atari disk system has a throughput of about 1Kbytes/sec when unmodified, it was usually no problem for a title screen to stay up long enough to load the rest of the program. Sometimes when converting from a disk to XEX people would make effort to retain a title screen (which is usually just a small program that loads the graphic page, then continues on to load the executable ...
Dec 5, 2018 · The one with the hole is an HD disk, the one without is a DD disk. To use a HD disk in your ST simply turn the disk over, label side down, and place some tape over the hole. TADA! Instant DD disk. Place the disk in your ST to format it or use the Command Prompt formatting syntax on a Windows PC.
- 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 · AtariZoll wrote: Case 1: making completely new image: first thing is creation of empty image file od desired size - according to capacity of target CF card (or SD card, or classic hard disk) . So, need to create file of let say 950 MB for 1GB cards. Can be done with some better hex editor.

Apr 6, 2024 · Twelfth, go back to the Eighth step and continue with the next disk. Comments. When copying the real disk to the virtual disk, it will take DOS a couple of passes to read the disk and then copy it. With some other software, and additional RAM on the Atari (such as a 130XE) it’s possible to shorten the process by only requiring a single pass.
