Nice. (As long as you know the sector sizes beforehand...)
Point me to a filesystem spec and some demo images and it might turn
into my next "little project".. :)
What do you
mean by "cooked"? Raw M2FM data, decoded M2FM (sync words
and headers intact), or just sequential sectors of data?
They are sequential sectors of data. Or curious
folk (like me) who enjoy the challenge of picking apart
disc formats :)
Indeed. It would be great to have a utility that can read/write files
from images. For extra credit, how about a FUSE module for Linux
or
MacOSX?
That sounds like a lot more fun. A lot of work, but also a lot more fun
(and interesting).
I'd love to do a FUSE mounter for BBC Micro (Acorn DFS and possibly
ADFS) disc images, but it's still on my "maybe later" list... :)
