Now I'm beginning to understand why folks like Sellam left.
I'm glad you think that I didn't spend any time trying to work it out

Back to the original subject:
I have IMD chugging away merrily on the Compaticard and, thanks to some
advice from Dave, can use it as the secondary controller.
Now, I'm trying to figure out how to format a SSDD diskette for the Xerox.
They use a screwy format where track 0 is FM 128 bytes/sector (26 x 128)
and all the others are MFM 256 bytes/sector (26 x 256).
Is there a way I can kludge through this with IMD? Or, do the Xerox system
utilities actually reformat track 0 when you sysgen (in which case, it
really doesn't matter what track 0 is configured as)?

Then try to figure it out, Steve. You're doing yourself a disservice
by
throwing in the towel so easily on every little question.
