Caterpiggle Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I only want to find applications that can copy both single stage binary AND boot tape to DISK. Do you have any idea where to find the BEST applications to rescue my bad tape to disk ? I have a few original tapes that appear to be bad tape.

Caterpiggle Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hello w1k, Is this for Tubro Cassette recorder ? Here in US only use 600 bps per second. I am looking for standard speed copy from Tape to Disk both binaries and boot tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ely Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 @russg Sorry, didn't mean suggest that no one would want that. I'm just surprised there are users without access to a better alternative to tapes. I think my experience of tapes for the Atari means I would not wish them on anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w1k Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 hmm, try this: SELECT/OPTION - repeatedly reading bad sector.. you must try APE WARP (MyDOS 4.53) Utilities Disk.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caterpiggle Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hello W1k, Next is which one should I choose 0, 1, 2 or 3 ? For copy bad or damaged tape to disk ? My guess is 2 "My Copier" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caterpiggle Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I recently check ape warp diskette but it seems not have tape support for copy on any of those choices 0 to 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russg Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) I only want to find applications that can copy both single stage binary AND boot tape to DISK. Do you have any idea where to find the BEST applications to rescue my bad tape to disk ? I have a few original tapes that appear to be bad tape. It is possible to copy tape to disk. I don't know how 'boot' tapes, if multiple stage, work. Like going disk file to tape, I could go tape to disk, single stage both. If you have a tape that won't load, has errors, it isn't going to copy, any effort to copy it will cause an error and quit. Another problem is the tape doesn't know where to run after it loads, until it gets to the end of the load and initializes. The tape loads its records, then jumps to load address plus 16, or 6 (don't remember), to continue some execution that ends with a run address jmp instruction. Going disk file to tape is easier because it is possible to obtain the run address in advance of copying, and you know what code you have in the init area because you put it there.

Caterpiggle Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hello Russg, What I need is applications on Atari. The applications must be able to rescue bad or damaged original tapes and copy both boot & muilt- binary tape. It must directly from tape back to disk only. I have no interesting disk to tape at all.

Caterpiggle Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 w1k, do you modifying on your tape recorder XC12 ? I will find an specific web site that it is all about tapes software alone but it is no longer existing on web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I've been working on a tape to disk. I've learned that my TRAK2.BAS isn't correct. I"m working on a single stage tape to loadable disk file. It isn't going too well, will take some time. I have no idea what my tape to disk file will do with encounter an error in the tape file. I suspect it will crash the program. I don't have any bad tapes to try. I've made a tape of Kid Grid to binary load disk file. It does make a binary load file that works, but it is sorta luck that it works. I have trouble with what starts at 0 and ends at 10 being 11 bytes. eg. #bytes of a file = endadress - startadress +1.

Caterpiggle Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 do you have any working copy or original tapes to test and transfer either binary or boot tape to disk ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caterpiggle Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Interesting application. Ok, I will test on the real Atari 800XL with my 1010 Recorder with good working tape at first. WIll copy well-protection software on the tape ? or ONLY work in non-protection software ? As for now, I tested on Altirra 64 bits emulator.

Caterpiggle Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Like I say, I will test on real hardware. Altirra only see what is the software look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ely Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Have you looked at TransDisk IV at all. It sounds like it does all the tape to disk processing you want; http://www.page6.org/pd_lib/page6/pd_transdisk.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ely Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 For reference I used it extensively in the UK for copying budge tape games to disk during 1988 and 1989. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caterpiggle Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Hello Ely, Thank you for inform me this software. I will check on hardware later. As for now I checked on Altirra and looks good. Will it help to rescue bad or damaged tapes and copy well-protection software, too ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ely Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 It certainly supposed to deal with copy protection but I'm not aware of it's ability to deal with corrupted media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
