# Almost PC compatible
|
|
|
|
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.
