To boot up an Atari 1040 you do not need a disk. The Operating System (TOS) is on ROM chips in the computer. The computer can read 720k IBM disks, but it does NOT run on MS-DOS. It will take 3-5 minutes to come up, and it will be in lo-res mode. You can change the look by experimenting with it. Good luck.
