Disk-o-Matic: FAT12 floppy images can be read, but are always called Atari Images #31

Situation

I work a lot with various flavours of systems. Many use FAT12 floppies, especially of course DOS machines like IBM PCs and IBM PS/2s, all OS/2 and NT (including RISC) machines, NEC, even DEC Alphas rely on them for booting. Additionally, FAT12 is a widely supported exchange FS on IBM formatted floppies.

Issue

Originally there were MS-DOS floppies but Disk-o-Matic presents them with a strong Atari branding, because besides all those systems, Atari ST uses them, too ;) I see Disk Jockey doesn't yet support all the other systems, but I guess at some point there will be a PC-style support, since that incorporates too many interesting SCSI machines.

Some resolution ideas
