Does anyone have any documentation on the data
structures of TRSDOS 1.3?
Specifically, I'd like to know the catalog structure, as well as the
scheme for storing files across multiple sectors.
I'm trying to pull some old word processor and perhaps spreadsheet files
off some TRSDOS disks using a PC. I already found a utility called
READDISK that reads TRS-80 disks on a PC and it worked great. Now I need
to extract the files from the image.
Is this data published in any of the TRS-80 DOS manuals?
The book that you need is "TRS-80 Disk and other Mysteries" by
H.C. Pennington.
My copy is inaccessible to me until Monday. (in my office at the college)
The program that you need is "Hypercross"? or "PCXZap"? by Mike
Gingel
("Hypersoft")
I'm giving final exams next week, so my schedule is a bit screwed up; If
you need help, I'll try to work it in.
