PASTI

 

Atari ST Imaging and Preservation Tools

 

Pasti is a package of software tools for imaging and preservation of Atari ST software. The two major components are the imaging tools and the emulation helper tools.

 

 

SOFTWARE PRESERVATION

 

Our main goal is the preservation of Atari software in its original unmodified form. Original software is normally stored on diskettes with custom format or copy protection. Standard tools cannot back up or image them. But floppy disk recording have a limited life time. It won't take too long until all original Atari disks will be damaged and lost.

 

Pasti ST is an imaging tool that produces disk file images of any ST disk. It runs on any ST computer, with the only requirement of one double-sided drive. Pasti ST needs a standard 8Mhz ST CPU. It doesn’t run on TT or Falcon computers.

 

Pasti images can be used on ST emulators using the emulator helper tool, Pasti.Dll. The DLL is currently supported by latest versions of Saint and Steem. The emulator helper tool was released some time ago.

 

Both tools are available at our web site: http://pasti.fxatari.com

 

Note that both tools are yet in the beta phase.
