Right ! dos 3.0 uses a ~130Kbyte/side format that you can use on a 1050 XL drive or above model only.
I want to say you that $35 is cheap for an atari item. As collector, I send near $320 for an ATARI 1200XL never sold in my contry (BELGIUM) and a 810 disk drive (the tax service ask me 21% of price in addition ! like a new device !)
anyway, for your problem I suggest to go to my friend Steven Tucker site at http://www.nacs.net/~classics/ and go to the sio2pc/APE way (exellent to rebuilt disks) ... or find a atari friend that can give you a DOS 2.5F or something like that.
I can't do that because time and ... I'm on the other side of the ocean too.
