So what is the critical difference between Atari and IBM boot records?
Where (what bytes) is the serial number that Atari puts on the disk and
what is the correct format for it?  What is not in the Atari boot sector
that is required for MSDOS to be able to read and write to the disk
successfully?
Does anyone have a text file containing this and other associated information
that they can send me (or tell me where I can get it via FTP)?
Thanks for any and all help and pointers.
