- I have an 130XE & double density 1050 with minimal software,
- DOS 2.5 & Atariwriter +. I'd like to start downloading more
- programs, but I don't have a program that can download.
-
- I tried using the util.exe to format atari drives on an IBM PC, but
- it formats them in double density. Also it gives me an error:
- "Error formatting track 0." Can I get DOS 2.5 to recognize a
- double density disk? Is there a way to un-diskcomm the DOSes that
- are on the atari.archive so I could boot from one of these PC created
- double density disks?
