I would like to read an PC type 720K diskette on my amiga. It does not have a DOS filesystem on it, rather just has data. How would I go about reading this data off onto my hard disk? I can't seem to figure it out using the trackdisk.device, as I am not sure of the format of the data on the disk. Do I use TD_RAWREAD? If so, how do I decode the bit patterns? I though MFM was high bit for a change in the bits, low for no change. I have a program to read and write to the Amiga floppy (880K) without going through the filesystem, but I would really like to be able to read 720K cpio archives from the Unix machines at work. (386 machines). Any help is greatly appreciated. I know it can be done, as PcC720 works. I just need the low level, without the MS-DOS filesystem format stuff. If I get it working, I'll post a sample. thanks in advance. brian m
