   I have a small problem which some of you may be able to help me with.  What
I am trying to do is read and write an Intertec Superbrain disk format on my
Ampro Little Board.  The current software on the Ampro doesn't support the
Intertec but I can get it to read and write that format if I know the following
paramaters:   Allocation block size (1K/2K)
              Bytes per sector
              Logical sectors per track
              Block shift factor
              Block mask
              Extent mask or data block allocation size
              Max data block number
              Max directory entries
              Directory group allocation 0
              Directory group allocation 1
              Check size
              Number of reserved tracks
              Skew table format

If any of you out there (especialy the people which own Superbrains) could
possibly get any of this information to me it would be very much appreciated.
      Thanks

I can get you the info you need if someone else has not already
sent o[Dit to you by now. I have a data base of many disk formats.
Caution - are you aware that data[D[D[D[Dall data on the superbrain is
inverted when recorded on the disk. Can the Apro take care[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[Dmpro take care of that?.
