Write ATR files via Kryoflux possible?

ATR don't contain any information about the low-level stuff like encoding type, sync, inter-record gaps and the like. Only header/descriptor and the raw sector data.

 

There's pretty good documentation of the encoding and low-level stufff used on Atari type drives in the 3 popular density formats as well as reverse-engineering info on drive firmwares.

I don't see it being too much of a job to get what you want done.

 

In fact if you were able to accomplish it, no reason not to expand further and allow easy creation of copy protection stuff like missing sectors, CRC errors, duplicate sectors etc.

If you have a physical floppy drive, and the ATR is mounted as a different drive number, let's say 1 and 2, then you can:

 

Use any sector copy program to read from the drive containing the ATR, and write to the real, physical disk drive.

 

Sparta SCOPY, Copy2000, anything that does a full sector copy will work fine for non-protected disks.

 

If you have the ATR on your Windows machine, then get an SIO2PC device from Lotharek here:http://www.lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=98

Interesting info about ATR format.

If be a free time I will think how to convert ATR to synth RAW.

Yes course I have Atari 1050 and Indus GT real drives.
I don't know what density in my ATR.

SIO2PC - that's what I need now!

 

Where I can download Atari disk images for write by Kryoflux?
