This scan of a disk is believed to constitute fair use on the above mentioned article in the English-language Wikipedia under United States copyright law, as long as only a limited number of scanned disk examples are used. Such display does not significantly impede the right of the copyright holder to sell the copyrighted material, is not being used to generate profit in this context, and constitutes of only minor artistic value.

The label is so dark because it is in reflecting silver.
Unusual for Atari 8-Bit-Disks, a second index hole window has been added because there was an incompatible drive for a short time on the market which could not read a disk, the backside, without the index pulse.
