Hit send too quickly on the last response...  The CP/M images are the ones 
I've been in need of.  Dunfield's ImageDisk should be able to handle the mixed 
sector sizing, although it may take a control file or set of option flags to 
pull this off.

Contact me privately if you do extract any images and need them tested on 
other machines.  There have been a number of requests on the various Atari 
forums for workable ATR images and the community could really benefit from 
their availability.
