So now that I've got the 8" drive running well on the PC, I am trying to
read 8" CP/M disks. 22Disk is giving me sector not found errors
(cylinder 2, side 0, sector 1) and the DOS CP/M tools are giving me
"Unknown floppy disk format", even on disks that read fine on my NEC APC.
I tried reading in a sector using debug but I also get read errors.
What happens when you try to read cylinder 0 side 0 sector 1? Same
errors? Try all the other possible sector numbers - CP/M disk formats
often use crazy sector numbers.
