[rec.ham-radio] floppy formats

johnd@pedsgo.UUCP (07/08/87)

I am posting this for a friend,
please respond via mail to HIM, TNX ... johnd/KA2QHD
---------------------------------------------------- 


I am looking for any information on the PHYSICAL TRACK formats of IBM
floppy disks, 5.25 " and 3.5 "

I define Physical Format to the the BIT sequences between sectors including
sector/track ID, CRC's and flags.
This is the format that the disk controller puts on the disk, NOT the way
PC/MS-DOS organizes the file system on the disk.

PLEASE RESPOND TO ME VIA MAIL SINCE I DO NOT HAVE DIRECT ACCESS
TO THE NET.
