Atari ST disks are standard MFM encoded IBM scheme disks without an IAM header.
Disks are typically formatted 512 bytes per sector with between 9-10 (sometimes
11!) sectors per track and 80-82 tracks per side.

For some reason, occasionally formatting software will put an extra IDAM record
with a sector number of 66 on a disk, which can horribly confuse things. The
Atari profiles below are configured to ignore these.

Be aware that many PC drives (including mine) won't do the 82 track formats. 

## Options

  - Format variants:
      - `360`: 360kB 3.5" 80-track 9-sector SSDD
      - `370`: 370kB 3.5" 82-track 9-sector SSDD
      - `400`: 400kB 3.5" 80-track 10-sector SSDD
      - `410`: 410kB 3.5" 82-track 10-sector SSDD
      - `720`: 720kB 3.5" 80-track 9-sector DSDD
      - `740`: 740kB 3.5" 82-track 9-sector DSDD
      - `800`: 800kB 3.5" 80-track 10-sector DSDD
      - `820`: 820kB 3.5" 82-track 10-sector DSDD
