[comp.sys.ibm.pc] How to read non-MS-DOS 96-TPI MFM disks?

steve@arc.UUCP (Steve Savitzky) (09/08/89)

The title says it: I have some disks that were written on a non-DOS
machine on a 96-tpi, MFM (i.e. normal density) drive.  How do I tell
the BIOS that the disks are 96-tpi?  (I can read non-DOS, 48-tpi disks
just fine, even on an AT; it looks like the AT's BIOS is double-
stepping the head by default.)

Has something been added to the "disk base" structure, or will I have
to poke the driver directly, or what?
