Reader Disk/CD-ROM


We're delighted to extend our Reader Disk concept to offer a CD-ROM as an alternative - we're the first UK Atari magazine to ever do this!
Already over half our subscribers take the Reader Disk and for a limited period only at no extra cost we're offering existing Reader Disk subscribers the chance to swap Reader Disks for CD-ROMs!

About the CD-ROM

  • CD-ROMs are only available to Atari Computing magazine subscribers.
  • The CD-ROMs are compiled by the French STraTOS magazine and the exact content is beyond our editorial control.
  • Within the limitation mentioned above each CD-ROM should include:
    • HTML versions of most articles from the preceding issue of Atari Computing.
    • Reader Disk contents of the previous Atari Computing issue.
    • HTML version of the current French STraTOS multimedia magazine.
    • Collection of international shareware compiled by STraTOS.
I'd to take advantage of this offer now!

Individual back copies of the Reader Disk and CD-ROM are available.

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.
