MSDos Readable disk for ST

[cecrowder]

Many years ago when the ST line was new, I remember having a program that would either format an MSDos readable on the ST or would make the needed changes to an ST disk to enable it to be read in an MSDos machine.

 

Since every MSDos system I have (including the old 486) will not format a disk in the required 360k for my ST drives, I could use this program if it can be found. Any help would be appreciated.

do you need it to create your boot disk ?

 

if so, you can create it with MAKEDISK (or of course any other st/msa file) on your pc's diskdrive, that's a special program to wite atari st compatible disks

You can format 720K MSDOS disks and it will work fine with your ST. To format a disk on the ST that works on the PC requires a special program that puts the correct DOS header on the disk.
