Tried ImageDisk on some Kaypro disks this morning...
Buggers recorded side1 as additional sectors of side0.
The different set of sector numbers didn't bother
ImageDisk, but it had a bit of a tantrum with the Head
ids which didn't match the physical head selection.
Quite common :-(
765 insists on accurate sector headers;
WD 179x can ignore the head # field in the sector headers.
The Kaypro won't even mind reading/writing a disk,
if you FORMAT it with a 765 using valid sector headers!
I can imagine that someone somewhere does weird
things
with the Cylinder ids on a track as well ...
Rare. I've only seen it a few times.
