Yesterday at a local retro meeting someone joked that we were vegetarians because it has the word 'atari' hidden in it. :-/

I would still like to preserve the physical item and make a clean dump.

Is there a manual and packaging,

Little experience with Audacity, but...

Try to cut off above 6khz (that's far above the mark/space signals).

You probably have to experiment a little. Let us know if this works

@Allan: what equipment are you using for digitizing? Are the squeals on both channels? Might need some high frequency filtering to get rid of it...

Maybe you can record it and upload it here?

Or send it to one of the (many) software collectors

A backward compatible ATX sounds fine to me as long as the whole thing is documented.

I wouldn't call ATX, PRO, ATP or any other derivative format a "preservation format". It's best practice to save the raw source and have several "publication formats" e.g. for emulators.

Some ED protections only contain (a lot of) double sectors. I once experimented with it and got 30 full sectors on each track.

IMHO it would still be nice to have an open documented image format. It could be based on the ATP proposal or something completely different. As long as it's documented and open source it would make me happy

Copy protected MFM is used quite often in Europe. ANG Software used it too.

I did a few myself for Mega Magazine

Could we have a look at the PCB inside the case?

Nice! This is all very interesting :-)

Hi Voy!

All credits go to Farb and others.

I didn't contribute any disk images here ( yet?).

Maybe you can get a 96tpi drive somewhere? Or i can send you one if you like.

It would be great to have all those Polish titles preserved! :-)

Friendly greetings,

Freddy.

The question remains, who needs it?

Personally i never used/needed FP on the Atari and i try to avoid FP in general, but i'm probably the ignorant exception?

Agree completely with Pirx

IMHO only the raw images are the preservation formats. ATX, ATR, PRO and others that are extracted from the raw image, are user/emulator formats. Both are important ofcourse, but i rather loose an extracted on than the raw one.
