To which Drew Klenotic replies...

For getting disk images to floppies... For the images themselves, I
usually check AtariMania.com first.  As for getting them on the machines,
for the 8-bits, I prefer using the ProSystem that comes with Ape
(requires an SIO2PC or SIO2USB) but those devices also let you use the
images directly on those computers without using the floppy at all so a
lot of people prefer that route.  

For the ST, a lot of things come just as zip files since the ST can read
720k PC format disks.  For games or things that require a real image, the
two options are 1) Copy the image to a 720 floppy and "extract" it on the
ST or 2) If you have a genuine floppy drive (not a USB floppy) on your
PC, there is a program (name escapes me but I want to say FloImg or
something like that) that will take care of that for you. (The reason
that it won't work on a USB drive is that the USB drives generally can
only use the standard formats and can't handle the wierd 800k formats
that the ST would sometimes use, especially for games).
