1. Does anybody have a Wordstar to nroff filter? Or would you enlighten
me as to exactly what all those eight bits mean?
2. I have a floppy from Japan which was created on a Hitachi MS-Dos
v2.11 machine. Apparently the HI hi-density drive is different from
my AT hi-density drive. As below:
Total disk capacity 1.26MB
Number of tracks 154 ( 77 x 2 sides )
Sector/track 8
Sector length 1024
Number of directories 192
(Root directory)
Reserved sector 1
Number of FAT (file allocation table) 2
Sectors/FAT 2
Sectors/Allocation Unit 1
Media Descriptor Byte FA
Contents of the Disk
Track No. Head No. Sector No. Record No. Contents
0 0 1 0 Boot record
(generated from Format)
0 0 2-5 1-4 FAT ( Includes Backup)
0 0 6-8 5-10 Directory
0 1 1-3 5-10 Directory
0-76 1-1(sic) 4-8 11-1231 Data Area
The above is( I hope a duplicate) of the information I received. If
anybody has an idea about how I can read this, please help.
Thanks in advance,
