Bootcd 8 software#
With NO extra software and NO extra hardware or hardware modifications. If you could switch not my CD/DVD Data Reader from 2048 bytes per sector to 512 bytes per sector, but do the same thing for the CD ROM drive, and use a CD ROM (disk) that has been burned to look like a ZIPdrive/harddrive, it should be possible to read data from that CD via the BlackBox.
To the Atari 8 bit computer, the ZIPdrive looks just like a Harddrive. You can see the 512 byte sectors, with the Atari sector link bytes and "bytes used in this sector" byte in the middle and at the end of each 512 byte sector. I was able to look at all the stuff that's on the ZIPdisk. You know, ISO 9660 CD's and DVD's use 2048 byte sector, everything else (except for some really old stuff) uses 512 byte sectors. Everything worked OK, but I had to change the SCSI ID that was to be accessed and also the sector size. Then on the 11th of July of 2004, I decided to use my CD Data Reader utility (since then renamed to CD/DVD Data Reader) to check out the ZIPdisk. But all of a sudden, the clicking stopped. This usually means the drive is having trouble reading the ZIPdisk. For some silly reason, the ZIPdrive started clicking a lot after some years.
