Atari help

Hello, I've been playing with my Atari 800 a bit, and the frustrating
thing is I can't get the disk drive to work. When the drive is on and with
a disk in it (is spins itself up alright) and turn on the computer, it
doesn't try to read the disk (my last Atari, and 800XL I think.. did). In
BASIC, any disk command (XIO, open, load, save, etc) give me an error that
I looked up and means something to the effect of 'drive not present'. I've
tried several utilities (myutil) on my PC to write the disks with mydos or
ataridos, but I don't know if they're working as I can't write or read any
disks.

Any ideas, please?

Thanks,

Kevin

at the edge of the cylinder overlooking /usr/spool/uucp.

more wretched hive of bugs and flamers. We must be cautious."
