    Some of them are bootlegs, demos with cracks and intros / trainers alot of which never hit the net irc, all made by friends in the early nineties.

    Then you'll need hardware, or a disk imager that'll work with Atari formatted disks.

    Your best bet would be to look on the Atari Age forums - I'm sure it will have been discussed there.

    Haha I've got some undumped things for the atari too.
    From what I remember there's a freeware (or shareware) program that can read amiga and atari disks and allows you to back them up.
    Can't remember if I ever tried them to see if they worked but I remember backing some up.

    If you have them on floppys you can mount them with Linux,almost the same format as PC FAT12.

    In the old days, it required an Amiga external drive with a circuit to parallel.

    Like I said, a disk imager should copy them, but whether they'll be readable on an emulator is another matter.

    He was talking about Atari, not Amiga?

    I remember the Amiga format was always a pain and needed amiga hardware, but Atari was the same or very similar format as PC's - you could use disks interchangeably (Atari -> PC and PC -> Atari)?

    The Atari had a 720k PC floppy controller,the STE and later models used 1.44mb.

    Those disks could be a pain... I had some with some kind of copy protection that I could never get to work/duplicate/image
