But you CAN check whether a format has the parameters that you expect with
just a series of sector reads.
Ok, I've looked over Intel's datasheet for the 82077A and 82078 that they
have online, and can't find any command that'll easily let me just 'read
sector headers'. Is there something I'm missing? The closest command I
could find was "READ ID HEADER" which would return the first sector ID
that it found. Do I need to read the entire track or someting?
