Dave,
Thanks so much for the wonderful IMD utility. While I have you on the horn, can I have you
look into a small bug in IMD, related to using it to make HP LIF disks.
I was trying to format an HP LIF disk from IMD (77 tracks, 30 sectors, 5 interleave, 512
MFM encoding, 256 bytes per sector).
Which I can configure IMD for using the interactive user interface. EXCEPT it won't
accept entering sector numbering starting from 0 to 29. It always wants to start at 1.
However, if I use the command line utility to make an image using BIN2IMD
BIN2IMD input.bin out.imd N=77 DM=3 SS=256 SM=0-29 /2
And then reconstitute a disc from that image, it works, sectors are correctly numbered 0
to 29.
So it looks like it's just a trivial bug in the interactive user interface.
Sorry to annoy and thanks again for all your contributions.
Marc

Hi, this is "Dave Dunfield" - best known here for being the site owner of
"Daves Old Computers" and the author of "ImageDisk"
No longer have the email I used to use to access cctalk... (hence the
change)
Just in case anyone is interested:
I've been working on a "retirement" project:
I am publishing some 40+ years worth of source code to "stuff I've
written".
This includes my DDS products, lots of "internal tools and utilities" and other
misc. "stuff". Of special interest to cctalk members, this include my
Altair, Horizon, H8, D6809, MOD8, ImageDisk and some other related material.
Most of it is C (mainly for my own compiler - one of the items), some in assembly, and a
few "custom languages".
Available from my personal site:
https://dunfield.themindfactory.com
or go to: "Daves Old Computers" -> "Personal"
Please note that I no longer monitor these forums on a regular basis.
Anyone wishing to reach me, please see the "contact" link on my site.
Dave
