Reader disk problems


In the unlikely event that a Reader disk won't load or gives you any other problems, disconnect all peripherals, switch off your computer for at least 20 seconds and try again. If this doesn't solve the problem, return the disk to Atari Computing clearly labelled "Faulty Disk". Your disk will be replaced and returned promptly.

Make a back up!


To make it easy to back up your Reader disks a copy of ACBAKUP.TOS, specially programmed by Ofir Gal, is included. Simply run ACBAKUP.TOS and follow the on-screen instructions; the program even formats the disk for you. We recommend you always store your original disks in a safe place and don't use ACBAKUP.TOS for any other purpose.
