Boot with BASIC.
Sector 720 is missing.  It is also part of the copy protection, so no ATR.

This disk is pretty neat. This is not just the Antic program listing on a disk that someone typed in, this is the program as well as some pictures that you could get from the author if you sent the him a blank disk and a few bucks. It is mentioned in the article in the August, '83 issue of Antic on page 52. It includes the picture of the dog that is shown in the article.

Has multiple Index Holes. Splice Mode with Index ignored.

Side A: Utilities - Does not boot. Still has a few bad sectors that will not go away.
Side B: Games - Boot without BASIC. Good recording

No matter what I do the disk errors seem to remain for both side A and B. Moving on!

Your going to get disks like this. I had one collection that looked like it was put in an oven. My guess is they were in an attic. It's always good to try though. I have disks that look like they went to Hell and back but still have the data on them.

I agree.  Here are two disks that I processed previously:

C.R.I.S. (1982)(Adventure International)(US)[disk]

 

Side B: Has 4 missing and 1 stable CRC.  They do not go away with -p. I do not know if it is copy protection. I included 4 tries.  A directory of disk two is below.

This is no protection but a bad SVERIFY.BAS.
