djglish Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Are there any CDs that came out for the Atari ST line? I know that I have a CD-ROM drive in my Atari hard drive case but can't remember if I had any CDs that worked with it. If I did they must be mixed in with all of my old PC CDs.

Zogging Hell Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 There were a couple of CD games, Ishar 3 and Robinsons Requiem, and there were a lot of compilation CDs of PD. There were also a few dedicated music CDs. Finally there were a couple of CDs for Atari's ill fated CD drive including a encyclopedia and a car parts inventory! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJolly Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia the program to access this was called SARA. Also The Atari Compendium book CD and Atari Computing mag released a CD with the articles / contents of all of the magazines after it closed down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJolly Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Here's a list of various CD's with advice on software available to access CDs on Atari. It's from 1995 so now quite out of date. The software mentioned is often now released as freeware. Atari CDs Listing.txt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djglish Posted July 11 Author Share Posted July 11 Thanks that should help alot. I'll have to check to see if I'm running one of the programs to let me access the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djglish Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 (edited) OK, another question. What is the best way to get the Anodyne programs from my PC to the ST? I do have a 3.5" floppy drive in one of my older computers but don't think that it will read to ST formatted disks. I'm using ICD Pro 6.5.5 for the hard drive controller.

ggn Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 If you can get the PC drive to format a FAT12 720k disk, the ST will very likely read it. So try doing that and then copy the files from your PC to the floppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
