We will concentrate on Disk 1 to begin with, since it is the boot disk. It is an .ATR file, so we need to remove the first 16 bytes to convert it into a raw image:
$ dd if="Alternate Reality - The Dungeon _ disk 1.atr" of=ar11.img bs=16 skip=1
We only want the first sector for now, so we will continue with our dd Swiss Army knife:
$ dd if=ar11.img of=11-s001.bin bs=128 count=1
We want to look at it in hex first, so we will use hexdump:
$ hexdump -v -C 11-s001.bin
