Sorry to keep plagueing the newsgroup with questions but as you
know, the lack of docuementation makes this necessary....
Can anyone tell me where I can find info on 'all you ever wanted to
know about ST disk drives and how data is stored on them '?.
I want to write some programs to play some games with disk formats
(more for self training than anything else) and I want to be able
to understand how the data is written and read from disks, how does
one address certain sections of the disk from with a program, etc.
I will be using the MEGAMAX C development system, and I don't have the
developers' kit.
Thanks in advance,
keith hedger
