OK,

Small partitions I can mount as regular MSDOS FAT (-o atari=no) only, unless 
they are <32 MB (in which case it's a 16 bit FAT with few enough clusters to be 
treated as 16 bit FAT by the Atari FAT patch).

I'll try your disk image and see what I get. What disk driver did you create 
these partitions with?
