[comp.sys.atari.8bit] IBM->Atari

rrwood@contact.uucp (roy wood) (10/18/90)

If anyone has the program for reading/writing MYDOS format disks on an IBM
(or compatible) up and running, could they please post a uuencoded version
here.  I picked up the source when it was posted, but I don't have access
to a C compiler (really!  believe it or not!).   I also can't FTP it from
this site, so a posting is the only hope I have-- unless someone would be
generous enough to mail it directly to me. :-)
 
And have you ever wondered why this newsgroup still exists?  Or why you
still have your old 8-bit?  It would have been nice if piracy and bad
management hadn't killed the machine...

The Atari 8-bits were doomed to obsolescence a long time ago,
regardless of the effects piracy and bad management had on the
machine.  Out of all its contemporaries, only the Commodore 64
remained viable to today, and even then that machine is rapidly dying
its death.

The Atari 8-bits were advanced, innovative, ground-breaking machines
in their day.  But progress marches forward...
