atapi.flp is no longer needed. 2.1.5 was the first release that incorporated
the atapi stuff into the boot floppy.
That said. It still may not work for you. Atapi is very problematic, and
2.1.5 is very very very old now. There are at least (by my count) 6 releases
since 2.1.5.
At least go to 2.1.7.1. But 2.2.5 is probably a better choice.
