Atari Heavy Maintenance
Patrick
I have just ten 5.25" disks for the 1050 which came with the computer
and drive. They are labelled simply 1 to 10 and I have tried to get them
working. They simply list a whole range of games but no actual DOS or
programs. With all computers I need disk file management tools so I can
copy software and back things up. I do have other boxes of software for
the Atari but they relate to the ST and Falcon.
Thanks for the link. 8 bit isn't somewhere I spend that much time but it
certainly is challenging. The 1010 that I have has the two buttons on
the far right broken. I have purchased another drive with a motor issue
but am hopeful of swapping out the buttons. Fingers crossed. All else
fails I will have buy a working unit. I have a search logged on Ebay for
1050 in the hope of getting the DOS disk at some time. Keeps me busy.
All the best
