Archiving Atari 800XL Floppy Disks
April 2, 2007
I took some time today to write up information about archiving Atari 800XL floppy disks. This is as simple as copying them from an Atari 1050 to images on a PC using some special hardware and software, but I hadn’t found any this-is-what-I-did writeups, so I figured I’d do one.
After I’ve had time to sort through the images, carve out personal data, and come up with a template for the pages about the disks, I’ll make them available to others.
For now, though, feel free to read the article in its current, mostly-unedited form: http://nuxx.net/wiki_archive/A/Atari_800XL_Disk_Archiving
Good work! That’s really exciting :)

So, overall, you’d say the experience of using ProSystem to archive disks was positive?
And I don’t know if you’re still doing much with the Atari Computer, but now that you’ve got an SIO2PC-compliant Adapter (an FT232 in a SIO connector should work, too) you might be interested in http://sourceforge.net/projects/aspeqt/
I just stumbled across it today.
