Re: Gemini 80-Bus System
Many thanks John, really appreciated, I clearly have quite a bit to digest and some learning still to do.
I have the Gotek connected and have configured the raw image settings for a double sided 35 track disk with 10 sectors per track, 512 bytes per sector. The track layout is set to interleaved cylinder ordering: c0s0, c0s1, c1s0, c1s1, ... I have also ensured that index pulses are not suppressed.
I am coming to the conclusion that the DMP disk images I have are Anadisk formatted images, and, based on the Anadisk documentation means that the tracks may need to be shuffled around as you suggested in an earlier post. I will look at this next. Just in case you are unfamiliar, the Anadisk header is defined as follows:
# ACYL Actual cylinder, 1 byte
# ASID Actual side, 1 byte
# LCYL Logical cylinder; cylinder as read, 1 byte
# LSID Logical side; or side as read, 1 byte
# LSEC Sector number as read, 1 byte
# LLEN Length code as read, 1 byte
# COUNT Byte count of data to follow, 2 bytes.If zero, no data is contained in this sector.
At the moment I am unable to use XBeaver as I have no keyboard input. I am using KDE though. I will spend some time with this also.
Naturally I will keep you posted. Once again, many thanks for the help.
John
