1. • Not be readable

     • It's not a simple process, and the discs will not be readable on a normal PC floppy drive. This is because the ST floppie's use more of the disc, 80 tracks, and the PC drives physically can't read them. I'd recommend doing more reseasrch, or even posting on an Atari ST forum.

   What floppy format does Atari ST use?

   • On Atari ST, floppy formats of 800, 820KB were very popular. Unfortunately, modern Windows as XP, 2K and Vista can not work with such floppies (as Windows 95 did).
