Okay guys Im about to start ATR imaging all my 1500+ 5.25" floppies (12 months too late) and would appreciate some advise
1. My 1050s have been in storage 20 years, what do I do to give them a good service before using them?
2. I have a SIO2PC/10502PC adapter so will take the image direct from the floppy, whats the best software to take the ATR image with (some disks have CRC protection on them) APE, etc?
3. Could I use Alterra to check if the image is good? or should I use another emulator or SIO back to a real Atari to check?
4. If any floppies do not read a good image, anything out there to repair them?
5. Is ATR the only image format supported for full disk images or is there another one and if so what software do I use
Any help would be nice as although Ive got lots of new toys for my Ataris, ive yet to try any of them in anger
Regards
