Large Drive CBM DOS Mapping Proposals
In the beginning, there were 170kB drives, with 1 head and 8 bits were used to hold track and sector values. Then, came 500kB disks (8050) and the rules still held. The 8250 and SFD1001 did not break the rules. Later, CMD HD came along and played by the same rules. 255 tracks of 256 sectors, each with 256... 21 Apr 2008 07:29
