Hi Paranoid,
Thanks for your answers. Yes, I just have a single floppy built in disk drive. So even if I can get ARC/ZIP to run on Atari, I assume it'll be a pain-in-the butt to swap floppies back and forth! Nuts.
Using Atari is so strange from using a Commodore, which is much more simple. I have both Commodore 64 and Mac experience and the Atari GEM desktop seems so awkward to use. I mean to even write a BASIC program, you have to run the BASIC.PRG program first , which gives you an IDE to type in your program, whereas on Commodore you get a command line to type in immediately. It's basically like DOS, seems much more flexible. Also to switch resolution is so awkward.
Also I have standard external SCSI drive... any chance I can hook that up to Atari ST 520 STF? Or do I need a special A-SCSI cable somehow?
