+atarisio (disk emulator for use with Atari 8-bit computer and SIO2PC)
+
+AtariSIO allows a Linux system to act as one or more disk drives,
+a printer, and/or a cassette drive for an Atari 8-bit (400/800/XL/XE)
+computer, using an SIO2PC cable.
+
+Even without SIO2PC or a real Atari, this package includes some utilities
+that are useful for manipulating and examining Atari disk, tape, and
+executable images.
+
+A real 16550A UART (or close derivative) is required. In particular,
+atarisio does NOT work with USB to RS232 adaptors.
+
+========================================================================
+= READ README.Slackware about the SETUID and GROUP variables =
+= before building the package! =
+========================================================================
+
+Before you can run atariserver or atarixfer, you will need the atarisio
+kernel module loaded. If you're dedicating a serial port for use with
+atariserver, you can add the following line to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules or
+rc.local (as you prefer):
+
+/sbin/modprobe atarisio port=/dev/ttyS0
+
+(Replace ttyS0 if you're using a different serial port, of course)
+
+If you need to use your serial port for other purposes, it's a little
+less cut-and-dried. You will have to either manually modprobe and rmmod
+the module as needed, or write yourself a script to do the job (possibly
+also starting up agetty when the module is unloaded, or SLIP mode if
+you're using FujiChat on your Atari, etc etc).

+#### READ THIS! ####
+
+# By default, atariserver and atarixfer are installed setuid root,
+# group owner "users". This is done for two reasons: (a) so the programs
+# can access the /dev/atarisio* devices, and (b) so they can set POSIX
+# realtime scheduling mode, which prevents timing issues that can cause
+# SIO frames to be retransmitted or (on a loaded system) dropped.
+
+# If run setuid root, atariserver and atarixfer will drop their root
+# privileges after setting realtime mode and opening the device.
+# There are no currently known exploits against atarisio, but the code
+# hasn't exactly been audited by the NSA either.
+
+# You have several options here:
+
+# 1. The default. Simply run this script. On a single-user system, this
+# is reasonable, though it's the least secure. atariserver and atarixfer
+# will be setuid root, and runnable by anyone in the users group.
+
+# 2. Run atariserver and atarixfer setuid root, but restrict access to
+# some group other than "users". To do this, run the script as:
+# SETUID=yes GROUP=wheel ./atarisio.SlackBuild
+# (replace "wheel" with any other group, as you prefer).
+# This option is more secure than option 1 and outperforms option 3.
+
+# 3. Run atariserver and atarixfer as a normal user. This can cause
+# performance problems, but on most setups it works OK. To do this,
+# run the script as:
+# SETUID=no ./atarisio.SlackBuild
+# This should be more secure than 1 or 2.
+
+# 4. Same as 3, but extra paranoid: use a group other than "users" (I like
+# "wheel"), and be very picky about who you add to the group.
+# SETUID=no GROUP=wheel ./atarisio.SlackBuild

+.SH
+DESCRIPTION
+\fBatariserver\fR emulates Atari 8\-bit peripherals using the \fBSIO\fR
+protocol, including disk drives, printers, and cassette tape decks.
+
+This manual page only documents the command\-line options to
+\fBatariserver\fR. For more information, including a description of
+the user interface and the command set
+for remote command support, see the \fBREADME\fR
+file for AtariSIO, possibly located in /usr/doc/atarisio or
+/usr/share/doc/atarisio.
+
+.SH
+OPTIONS
+Most options can be set from within \fBatariserver\fR's curses\-based
+user interface while the program is running.
+.TP
+\fB\-h\fR
+Displays command line help message
+.TP
+\fB-f\fR \fIdevice\fR
+Sets the AtariSIO device. This option is only needed if you
+configured the kernel driver to support more than one interface.
+.IP
+\fINote:\fR this must be the very first command line option, otherwise
+it will be ignored!
+.IP
+Without this option, \fBatariserver\fR will check if the environment
+variable \fBATARISERVER_DEVICE\fR is set. If not, the default device
+\fB/dev/atarisio0\fR will be used.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-c\fR
+Tells AtariSIO that your Atari is connected via an alternative
+SIO2PC cable. The standard SIO2PC cable uses the RI pin for
+command line input. Some Windows SIO emulators use a slightly
+modified SIO2PC cable, using DSR instead of RI. If you are not
+sure what kind of SIO2PC cable you have, just try starting
+atariserver with and without the \fB\-c\fR switch and test if your
+Atari can boot from atariserver.
+.IP
+\fINote:\fR there's no performance benefit using the DSR line instead
+of the RI line; both cables work identically with AtariSIO.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-C\fR
+Similar to \fB\-c\fR except that the CTS pin is used. This is
+quite useful for testing purposes: connect two PCs with a
+nullmodem\-cable, start \fBatariserver\fR with \fB\-C\fR on one machine
+and \fBatarixfer\fR with \fB\-p\fR on the other.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-m\fR
+Monochrome mode: disable colors, even if your terminal
+reports color support.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-o\fR \fIfile\fR
+Set trace file: all output displayed in the log window will
+also be saved to the specified file.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-p\fR
+Loads the next image with "write protect" enabled. This
+option is only valid for the next image; if you want to load
+multiple write protected images, you have to specify this
+options before each filename.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-s\fR
+Disables high speed (57600 bit/sec) SIO support. It sets
+the baudrate to fixed 19200 bit/sec and also disables several
+special commands like "get ultraspeed byte" or "flush disk"
+that are only supported by high-speed drives like the
+1050 speedy. Read the list of SIO commands at the end of the
+README for more details.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-S\fR
+High speed (57600 bit/sec) mode with pauses between bytes.
+This is needed for some high speed SIO routines which are too
+slow to handle sustained 57600 bit/sec transfers. The effective
+speed will be approx. 48000 bit/sec.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-X\fR
+Enable XF551 compatibility mode. In XF551 mode \fBatariserver\fR
+reacts to commands with the 7th bit set and automatically
+switches to 38400 bit/sec transfer mode. Additionally, the
+GetStatus command sets both bit 7 and 6 in case of an QD
+(double sided, double density, 1440 sectors) disk, just like
+the XF551.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-t\fR
+Increases the trace level. You may use this option up to
+three times if you want more output.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-1\fR \fIthrough\fR \fB\-8\fR
+Set the drive number for the next image file. The default is 1 for the
+first image, and is incremented for each subsequent image. See \fBNOTES\fR
+below for an example.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-V\fR \fIdensity\fR \fIdir\fR
+Create virtual device of given density, using files from directory \fIdir\fR.
+\fIdensity\fR is one of:
+.IP
+\fBs\fR (single density, 720 sectors),
+.IP
+\fBd\fR (double density, 720 sectors),
+.IP
+\fBe\fR (1050 "enhanced" density, 1040 sectors),
+.IP
+\fInumber\fR\fBs\fR (single density, \fInumber\fR sectors, e.g. \fB1440s\fR),
+.IP
+\fInumber\fR\fBd\fR (double density, \fInumber\fR sectors, e.g. \fB1440d\fR),
+.IP
+\fBS\fR (single density, the number of sectors needed to store all files is automatically calculated)
+.IP
+\fBD\fR (double density, like \fBS\fR)
+.TP
+\fB\-P\fR \fIconv\fR \fIpath\fR
+Install printer handler.
+.IP
+\fIconv\fR is EOL conversion: \fBr\fR=raw(no conversion), \fBl\fR=LF (UN*X), \fBc\fR=CR+LF (DOS/Windows)
+.IP
+\fIpath\fR is either a filename or \fI|print-command\fR, eg \fB|lpr\fR
+.IP
+\fINote:\fR Most shells require you to quote \fIpath\fR if it contains a pipe (|) character. To use the standard unix print service, use: \fB-P l "|lpr"\fR
+
+.TP
+\fIfilename\fR
+One or more image files, which should be either ATR or XFD format Atari
+8\-bit disk images. Image filenames may be interleaved with \fB\-[1\-8]\fR
+and/or \fB-p\fR options. Images may be in any Atari\-compatible DOS or
+boot disk format; \fBatariserver\fR simply serves them to the Atari,
+without interpreting the contents.
+
+.SH
+NOTES
+To load several images you could start atariserver with
+the following options (for example):
+
+.br
+atariserver dos.atr -3 -p data1.atr -V d filedir
+.br
+
+This will load dos.atr into D1:, data1.atr into D3: and create
+a virtual drive in double density (720 sectors) out of the
+directory filedir. Furthermore, D1: and D4: will be writable,
+whereas D3: will be write protected.
+
+If you set the environment variable ATRPATH, \fBatariserver\fR will look
+for image files in the specified (colon separated) directories
+if the image can't be found in the current working directory.
+ATRPATH works both on the command line and in the user interface.
+For example:
+
+export ATRPATH=/home/atari/dos:/data/xl/magazines
+
+or (for csh users):
+setenv ATRPATH /home/atari/dos:/data/xl/magazines
+
+.SH
+KERNEL SUPPORT
+
+\fBatariserver\fR requires the \fBatarisio\fR kernel module (driver) to
+be loaded. If you receive an "error opening /dev/atarisio0" message,
+try loading the module (as \fBroot\fR):
+
+.br
+/sbin/modprobe atarisio port=/dev/ttyS0
+.PP
+Replace ttyS0 with whichever serial port has the SIO2PC cable attached.
+If the module refuses to load, you may have to "modprobe 8250" first.
+
+.SH
+SUPPORTED HARDWARE
+
+\fBatariserver\fR works with most common one-chip RS232 (serial port)
+SIO2PC designs, including the AtariMax "smart" SIO2PC by Steven Tucker,
+and designs based on the 1489/14C89 and Max232/233 chips.
+.PP
+The USB SIO2PC (sometimes incorrectly called SIO2USB) from AtariMax is
+\fBNOT\fR supported, though support is planned for future versions
+of AtariSIO/atariserver.
+.PP
+The old two-chip SIO2PC interface (with a MAX232 and an LS368)
+is NOT supported, and probably never will be.
+.PP
+All Atari 8\-bit computers (400/800, XL, and XE series) are supported.

+.TH ATARIXFER "1" "April 2007" "atarixfer (atarisio 0.30)" "HiassofT Atari 8-bit Tools"
+.SH NAME
+\fBatarixfer\fR \- read or write from an Atari disk drive, via 1050-2-PC or APE ProSystem cable
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B atarixfer
+[\fB\-f\fR \fIdevice\fR] [\fB\-p\fR] [\fB\-r\fR \fIimagefile\fR] [\fB\-w\fR \fIimagefile\fR] [\fB\-d\fR] [\fB\-\fR<\fIdrive\fR>]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBatarixfer\fR 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.
+.PP
+\fBatarixfer\fR only supports whole-disk transfers, to or from a
+disk image file. Reading/writing single files or individual sectors
+is not possible.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\fB-f\fR \fIdevice\fR
+Use alternative AtariSIO device (default: \fI/dev/atarisio0\fR)
+.TP
+\fB-p\fR
+Use APE ProSystem cable (default: 1050-2-PC cable)
+.TP
+\fB-r\fR \fIimagefile\fR
+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 \fI.atr\fR, \fI.xfd\fR, or \fI.dcm\fR (case-insensitive). If the
+filename doesn't match any of these, ATR image format is assumed.
+.TP
+\fB-r\fR \fIimagefile\fR
+Write a disk image to the drive.
+.TP
+\fB-d\fR
+Enable debugging output.
+.TP
+[\fB\-\fR<\fIdrive\fR>]
+Use drive number (1..8). Default is \fB-1\fR. The drive number must
+match the drive number switches on the Atari drive.

+.TH DIR2ATR "1" "April 2007" "dir2atr (atarisio 0.30)" "HiassofT Atari 8-bit Tools"
+.SH NAME
+dir2atr \- create an Atari disk image from a directory of files
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B dir2atr
+[\fB\-d\fR] [\fB\-m\fR] [\fB\-p\fR] [\fB\-b\fR \fIDOS\fR] [\fBsectors\fR] \fIimage\-filename\fR \fIdirectory\fR
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBdir2atr\fR creates an Atari DOS 2.x or MyDOS compatible disk image,
+containing the files from \fIdirectory\fR (or a blank disk, if the
+supplied \fIdirectory\fR does not exist). Despite the name, dir2atr is
+capable of creating ATR, XFD, or DCM format images.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\fB\-d\fR
+Create double\-density (256 bytes/sector) disk image. Without this option,
+the default is to create a single\-density (128 bytes/sector) image.
+.TP
+\fB\-m\fR
+Use MyDOS format (VTOC; see \fB\-b\fR for boot sector type). Without this
+option, \fBdir2atr\fR may still create a MyDOS format image: If the
+number of sectors is not supplied, or if using double density (\fB\-d\fR),
+or if the number of sectors supplied in single density mode is anything
+other than 720 or 1040, then MyDOS format will be used.
+.sp
+.RS
+Another way of saying this is that DOS 2.x format will only be used if the
+number of sectors is supplied, and if it is equal to either 720 (DOS 2.0
+format) or 1040 (DOS 2.5 enhanced density format).
+.sp
+SpartaDOS\-formatted images are \fBnot\fR supported.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fB\-p\fR
+Create \fBPICONAME.TXT\fR file in disk image, containing long filename
+information (will be used by MyPicoDOS when displaying filenames).
+.TP
+\fB\-b\fR \fIDOS\fR
+Create bootable disk for specified DOS. The directory must already
+contain the \fBDOS.SYS\fR or equivalent for the specified DOS, unless
+creating a MyPicoDOS image (in which case, \fBPICODOS.SYS\fR will be
+created and added to the image).
+.sp
+Supported DOS choices (case\-insensitive):
+.br
+Dos20, Dos25, MyDos453, TurboDos21, TurboDos21HS, MyPicoDos403, MyPicoDos403HS
+.TP
+\fBsectors\fR
+Number of sectors in the created image. Standard floppy\-sized images
+generally contain 720 sectors (single\- or double\-density, 90K or 180K
+capacity) or 1040 sectors (1050/DOS 2.5 enhanced density, 127K capacity).
+.sp
+Some Atari drives and DOSes support larger floppy disks (e.g. 1440
+double\-density sectors for a DS/DD XF551 disk, 360K capacity; or
+2880 DD sectors for a PC-style 720K floppy drive).
+.sp
+Hard disk images may contain up to 65535 double\-density sectors. This
+limitation is imposed by the ATR file format (16 megabytes is pretty
+big for an 8-bit Atari disk, though). Most Atari DOSes won't support
+physical disk partitions bigger than this, anyway. Theoretically,
+the XFD "format" could be of unlimited size (since it's just a raw
+dump of the sectors, with no structure), but \fBdir2atr\fR imposes
+the same size limit for XFD as for ATR.
+.sp
+Actually, the distinction between "hard disk" and "floppy disk" images
+doesn't really exist in the ATR file format: any image that fits on
+an actual floppy disk (one that's actually supported by an actual
+Atari DOS) is by definition a floppy image, and anything
+larger than that must be considered a hard disk image.
+.sp
+If \fBsectors\fR is omitted, \fBdir2atr\fR will create a MyDOS\-format
+image with as many sectors as needed to contain the all the files
+in \fIdirectory\fR, unless this is less than 720 sectors (in which
+case, a 720\-sector image is created, with some free sectors).
+.sp
+If \fBsectors\fR is given, it must be between 720 and 65535. No
+Atari\-compatible disk may contain fewer than 720 sectors. When
+creating a DCM (DiskComm) image, the only supported image sizes
+are 90K (720 single\-density sectors), 127K (1040 single\-density
+sectors, aka 1050 enhanced density), and 180K (720 double\-density
+sectors).
+.sp
+If you specify a number of sectors too small for the files in
+\fIdirectory\fR, you will get an error message, but the image will
+still be created. It will contain whatever files were copied before
+running out of space (which might be none, if the first file is too
+big to fit).
+.TP
+\fIimage\-filename\fR
+Disk image file to create. The image type is determined by the
+filename "extension", which should be \fI.atr\fR, \fI.xfd\fR, or \fI.dcm\fR.
+The extension is treated case\-insensitively, and the default image type
+is ATR if the extension is missing or not recognized.
+.TP
+\fIdirectory\fR
+Directory of files to be copied to the image. The files are copied in
+case-sensitive alphabetical order. \fIdirectory\fR may contain
+subdirectories, which will be skipped if creating a DOS 2.x image, or
+included (recursively) as MyDOS subdirectories if creating a MyDOS image.
+While the image is being created, each filename in \fIdirectory\fR is
+printed to standard error output after it's copied.
+.sp
+\fBNOTE:\fR Empty subdirectories will \fBnot\fR be copied to the image.
+.sp
+Atari DOS and MyDOS (and any other compatible DOS for the Atari) suffer
+from a limit of 64 files per directory. For Atari DOS, this means 64
+files per disk, since subdirectories are not supported. For MyDOS,
+it means 64 files/subdirectories per directory. In either case,
+\fBdir2atr\fR will copy the first 64 files in the directory or
+subdirectory, then issue a warning to let you know that it had to
+skip the rest of the files.
+.sp
+To create a blank disk, you may create and use an empty directory. A
+blank disk is also created if the specified \fIdirectory\fR is not
+a directory (e.g. if it's a regular file), or if it does not exist
+at all! No error messages are given for non\-directories or non\-existent
+files. This is probably not the author's original intent, but it can
+be considered useful behaviour (except when it's confusing: if you make
+a typo in the \fIdirectory\fR, you'll end up with a blank image instead
+of the expected error message. The careful user will notice that no
+"Added file" messages get printed in this case).
+.sp
+Although Atari DOS and MyDOS only support uppercase "8.3" names,
+filenames within \fIdirectory\fR are not required to conform to this
+limitation. \fBdir2atr\fR will transform the filenames so that they
+match the Atari limitations, although care should be taken to avoid
+filenames within \fIdirectory\fR that differ only in case (e.g.
+\fBFOO\fR and \fBfoo\fR). If this happens, some of the resulting Atari
+filenames will contain spaces, which is incompatible with most
+(all?) Atari DOSes. Also, \fBdir2atr\fR will allow filenames inside
+the image to start with a digit, which is incompatible with most Atari
+DOSes as well.
+.sp
+If the \fB\-p\fR option is used, the filenames will still be transformed
+as necessary, but the original filenames will be recorded in the
+\fBPICONAME.TXT\fR file. If creating a MyPicoDOS image, the MyPicoDOS
+menu will actually display the full, original filenames.
