Hmm, bootable USB stick, that's an interesting idea. Might try that out sometime.

Well, for me, I'm happy. Gods is now working in all it's glory on my Atari. I am muchos happy, you guys rule. :D

Tried Makedisk again, back in pure DOS, with a DD disk. Went through all manner of different settings, and each time it would give the error: "Address mark not found". Tried with a few different DD disks, they're all treated the same.

So, because you mentioned it, I tried a HD disk with the notch ...

Format from Pure-DOS : Reports that my drive is not capable of doing so with either:

format a: /T:82 /N:10

or

format a: /T:80 /N:10

And, to check it:

format a: /T:80 /N:9

Works. I get the same results from Windows Command Prompt, though it doesn't even tell me my drive is incompatiable with ...

Just tried formatting to 820K, and my floppy drive doesn't support it. Tried a second one, and that doesn't support it either. :(

I guess I'm screwed.

Unless (from all my reading) I split the MSA up into two parts, put each on a 720K disk, transfer them over to the Atari, and put them back ...

This has taken a turn which means it doesn't really belong in this forum anymore, but splitting the topic into another forum is silly too.

Basically, if this moves, I'll understand ;)

Someone kindly sent me the MSA for disk2 of Gods, but I'm having problems with it.

First I'm using MSA Converter ...

Next obvious question, where can I get an image? Not sure what the rules allow here in terms of disk-copying, but if anyone has an image (or link to) I'd very much appreciate it :)

Did a number of Google searches for it, but didn't turn anything up.

(yer, I know, me n00b)

Edit:
And for the sake ...

A fix for corrupt data / Getting Gods from Image to Disk

Hey, I'm wondering if there are any tools out there (for TOS or otherwise) that can analyse and hopefully fix corrupt data on a floppy disk.

The disk in question is Disk2 of Gods, the game only plays as far as the end of the first world and then crashes due to the corruption. Plus the shopkeeper ...
