ATARIXFER(1)

NAME
atarixfer - read or write from an Atari disk drive, via 1050-2-PC or APE ProSystem cable

SYNOPSIS
atarixfer [-f device] [-p] [-r imagefile] [-w imagefile] [-d] [-<drive>]

DESCRIPTION
atarixfer can either write a disk image file to a real Atari disk drive, or read a disk from an Atari drive and write its contents to an image file. A 1050-2-PC or APE ProSystem cable is required.

atarixfer only supports whole-disk transfers, to or from a disk image file. Reading/writing single files or individual sectors is not possible.

OPTIONS

-f device
    Use alternative AtariSIO device (default: /dev/atarisio0)

-p  Use APE ProSystem cable (default: 1050-2-PC cable)

-r imagefile
    Read from Atari disk and create an image of its contents. The type of image to create is decided by looking at the filename, which should end in .atr, .xfd, or .dcm (case-insensitive). If the filename doesn't match any of these, ATR image format is assumed.

-r imagefile
    Write a disk image to the drive.

-d  Enable debugging output.

[-<drive>]
    Use drive number (1..8). Default is -1. The drive number must match the drive number switches on the Atari drive.
