Savetz Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Michael Sternberg created an amazing Atari disk data visualizer. It shows which of the disk’s tracks contains data. Charles Mangin first did something like this for the Apple II. I thought of the idea of making an Atari version, and Michael ran with it. The visualizer is a bash shell script that calls the ImageMagick convert and montage tools. The code is on github: https://github.com/michaelsternberg/atrviz It hasn't been tested yet on enhanced or dual-density ATR disk images. Here's an example disk of the output: 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DjayBee Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 As an enhancement a creative programmer with an affection for nonsense might come up with something like this for our Ataris: http://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/products/apple2/graffidisk/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Robot Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 do it anyway you might do something special or better... I don't know if I'd call it special, maybe 'more flexible'.
