yes, myDos (and others) are limited to 16mb (8bit) partitions.
This is due to the 16bit sector-link.

Your card is 96Mb (16bit) = 48mb in 8bit.

My advice would be:
D1 = 720 sector partition (for booting / system-software)
D2 = 66535 sector (16Mb) partition for games etc.

Assign the rest (~30 Mb) of the space for disk-images (~160 disks).

Cheers,
Sijmen.

In fdisk you must activate image-mode.
save&exit.

hold start on powerup and you enter the image-menu.
A screen like this will appear.

0001<CBN>name_29_characters S

4-digit hex-number (joystick up/down left/right, fire=boot)
< copy from image to floppy (press fire), "Y" to confirm
C erase name (press fire), then do N 'save name' to confirm.
B boot (press fire)
N save name (press fire)
> copy from floppy to image (press fire), "Y" to confirm. [tip:enter name first]
"name_29_characters" (keyboard, joystick left/right, NO function keys supported!)
s Density of image. changeable s->m->d->s (fire) Only change this if you need to!
To confirm changes in density, then do N 'save name'

you first need to copy disk from d1/ape to imagespace or use the
pctool to copy atr's to imagespace.

cheers,
sijmen.

I did, but at my record of 16megas ATR, is not in the second partition. and the first partition is the mydos. There will not be any way to just copy the files contained in the ATR?

I attached some pictures fdisk, and the menu for recording.

Sorry, I do not understand what you want to do.

You want to copy a 16mb ATR to partition#2?

if yes: use the PC-tool to transfer to your CF-card.
http://www.atarimax.com/flashcart/forum ... .php?t=412
it's 3rd party-software, so read the instructions carefully.

if no: please explain fully what you want to copy.

Cheers,
Sijmen.
