I'll volunteer. Short-term, I'll prolly keep a spreadsheet with the
relevant data & publish it to PDF for the web -- long(er) term would be
setting up a PostgreSQL Database & either a Python or ColdFusion
web-frontend so people could search (and possibly modify) the info on the
fly... I think that we should start compiling a list of
the various media we want
represented and how that media is organized natively. I don't mean
"well,
it
has blocks and sectors" either. We should
examine the exact format down to
the actual numbers (i.e., "2048 blocks of 256-bytes recorded twice").
Seeing
how the various data stores are organized should
bring some clarity to how
we should represent it.
I agree. This would be useful. Does someone want to volunteer to do
this?
