<p>[[CBHD]], [[SED]], [[Hyperformat]] and some of the other tools described here
once were part of my book 
<a href="http://www.clive.nl/detail/12497/">"Scheibenkleister - Massenspeicher am Atari"</a>,
published by <a href="http://www.maxoncomputer.com/about_history.asp">Maxon Computer</a> (originally
called "Merlin"), which covered all the interesting details
about floppy disks, hard disks, RAM disks, CD-ROMs and other
mass storage devices for the Atari line. The book went through two major editions
(the second edition was essentially a complete rewrite), but is now long out
of print. I decided to put both CBHD and 
<a href="/download/atari/sed_568.zip">SED</a> in a quasi-public domain status.
</p>

<p>The book was accompanied by a floppy disk, crammed with all kinds
of useful tools and source code. That disk was affectionately called the
"Kleisterscheibe". If you own the book, you can click <a href="/download/atari/kleisterscheibe_v233.zip">here</a>
to download Kleisterscheibe V2.33 - or check out the
<a href="/download/atari/kleisterscheibe_v233/V2_33.TXT">README</a> file first.
Note that offering this download link does not imply that the software
on the disk is free of copyrights.</p>

<p>You can still buy the book used at a couple of places, such as:</p>

<p>One of the most rewarding things about writing this book was to learn that many
years later, even PC programmers used it to write cool software such as
<a href="http://www.igd.fhg.de/~aschaefe/fips/">FIPS</a>, the famous open-source
disk partitioning utility - check out the credits in 
<a href="http://www.igd.fhg.de/~aschaefe/fips/distrib/fips.doc">its documentation</a>
and see for yourself! I can only say: Wow! I feel honored.</p>

<p>Oh, and best of all,
the FIPS documentation was translated into a lot of languages, and I can only
speculate about the difficulties at having to translate "Scheibenkleister" into, say,
French or Japanese .-)</p>

Sometimes, people still actually [[http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=11852&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15][discuss the book]],
and I'm actually thinking about publishing the book on this web site. Drop me a line
if you're interested.

The Scheiben Kleister book of a freind and SED helped me to analyze the diskettes of a automated coilwinding machine. Now I can use the <nop>HxC floppy emulator to store data on SD cards in stead of aging floppies. Making life a lot ieasier over here.
