Hi Guys,
I have posted the update to ImageDisk which allows it to work
with Head/Cylinder values on a per-sector basis if needed.
I have also posted a number of additional ImageDisk format
system disk archives.
I have also added a new page which describes how I constructed
the adapter for the 8" drive, and the cabling system I use to
allow the external drive to be easily removable and to co-exist
with an A: internal drive. I have provided photos of the various
constructions as well as descriptive text.
There is link to my "Connecting 8" and external drives" page
near the bottom of my "disks/software images" page, which is
accessable via a link near the bottom of my main page.
Regards,
Dave

Dave, from my quick read of your description of the IMD format, there is meta
information that I think would be valuable to store. When a disk is imaged, the
captured file should indicate which tracks/sectors had problems being read.
That would allow automated merging of two different attempts to capture a given
disk (I haven't used your merge program, but my understanding was that one had
to manually specify which tracks to take from each image. Futher, when
archiving one often is processing a large batch of disks. Keeping track of the
problematic sectors manually and making sure that information is associated with
the disk is challenging. Some months later when going back to a pile of disk
images, it would be nice to know which sectors are suspect.

Ehmm what is the ImageDisk Site ?

Rumor has it that Stefan may have mentioned these words:
