Thats a good idea, and I will look into adding such a function for the

In the meatime, you can accomplish this in another way by using the
eXclude track feature. There'a a menu for it, but the command line option
will let you exclude a range of tracks easier. So if you exclude 44-77 and
write the first part of the disk, then set your switch, and exclude up to
43 and rewrite the disk, you should have the whole thing written with the
correct TG43 inputs - note that while writing, the drive will still step
(quickly) over the excluded tracks - but it won't write them.

Necessity has been inventing again ....
Would you consider adding an option to pause while writing when Track
43 is reached? (Or would you consider that too much of a hack?) Does
ImageDisk step through the tracks just once when writing?
I need to cable up an 8" drive to a PC to image some disks and create
some other disks. I know there are various ways to control the TG43
signal electronically, but how about just using a toggle switch to
assert the signal, if you know when to toggle it?
