Atari Vd Editor

AtariVD Editor allows you to create and edit virtual disks for Atari 8-bit computers (400, 800, 1200XL, 600XL, 800XL, 65XE, & 130XE models) on the Macintosh. The virtual disks can be used with Rainbow, Chris Lam's Atari 800/800XL/130XE emulator for the Mac, or with any other Atari 8-bit emulators. AtariVD Editor recognizes 8-bit virtual disk files in these formats: .ATR: Nick Kennedy's SIO ATR file format with a 16-byte header at the beginning of the file. .ATD: AtariDisk format. These files begin with a 16-byte Macintosh header. .RBW/Raw disk images: No header data. These files contain only the disk sectors themselves. AtariVD Editor is capable of reading, writing, and creating virtual disks in both Atari DOS 2.0/2.5 and MyDOS 4.5 formats. In MyDOS format, you can create virtual disks from 720 to 65,535 sectors of either 128 or 256 bytes! (90K to 16MB) A simple text conversion feature with built in ATASCII <-> Macintosh text conversion is also provided. Changes in version 1.3, 11/7/1999 --------------------------------- * Fixed an Atari DOS 2.x file flag-byte bug (caused an error-144 when attempting to read from Atari DOS). * Fixed DOS 2.5 enhanced density free sector calculation. (really!) * Fixed updating of byte edit box when the sector number is changed with the file list selected. * Internal enhancements: better memory handling, some routines rewritten to be more compact and efficient, several redundant code blocks replaced with subroutine calls. * Improved Atari <-> Mac file name conversion. * The "Save Sector" button is now enabled and disabled as appropriate. * When clicking on a list (file/hexadecimal/ASCII) to activate it, the current selection is now preserved. * Byte selection between the hexadecimal and ASCII sector data lists has been synchronized. * Major dialog boxes have been converted to movable modal dialogs. * Two arrow controls have been added to the sector editor, allowing easy sequential sector navigation. * A new preferences dialog lets users choose how boot data is stored, and whether to use Rainbow type/creator codes. * When adding or erasing a bootable DOS file on Atari DOS 2.x disks, the boot sector data is no longer overwritten. * The free sector indicator in virtual disk windows now shows the total usable sectors and free space in KB. * The file/directory list header now displays the total number of items in the current directory. * Multiple items can now be selected in the file/directory list. * Files with creator/type codes of "A8VD/TEXT" can now be imported into virtual disks from the Finder. * Drag and Drop support added. * Many additional small UI changes/improvements to menus, dialogs, and the disk windows.
