need help hooking up Atari to pc

[oldbloke]

I heard it was possible to do this. I seen a few different ones online and was wondering what the best one was. I think if you want to convert a floppy you have to make it an "atr" but can you convert it back to the original if you wanted to make new floppys?

You need a SIO2PC interface.

 

("Need" in a relative sense, obviously)

 

Generally speaking, you can make new 5.25" disks from your .atrs.

 

Do you have specific software in mind?

 

Much of it has already been converted, which could save you some trouble.

Yes you can covert your ATR disk images back to real disks, any SIO2PC type hardware/software in combination with your disk drive will let you do that.

Thanks for the help. Emulators are good but not perfect. It is always nice to play on a real system sometimes.
