Hi,
I have a need to duplicate a BBC style ADFS single density disk, but
have discovered that every IBM PC I can find has broken single density
floppy disk compatibility, such that none of the physical sector copiers
will work.
However, I remember picking up a SAM disk magazine
I'm also aware that KE-Disk (since I owned it twice counting the later
distribution with Fred) was a BASIC program that could read non-SAM
format disks. So perhaps there is a place somewhere where I could just
read up on the correct commands to write such a program?
Most of the simple
The only thing is: does the BBC disc have 9 or 10 sectors per track?
(Assuming we're talking 3.5 here) copying sector-by-sector is fine,
but the destination disc will need to be pre-formatted. The SAM
can format at 10 sectors per track, and I think there is a program
that will format at 9
Some of you who read comp.sys.sinclair may be aware of a recent thread in
which Stuart Campbell (ex-YS writer) has been trying to get SimCoupe to
run. Because some of his questions have come up before and may come up
again, I put together a quick web page at

Do you really mean single density? (as opposed to double

Most of the meat of KE-Disk was actually written in machine code, for
speed. Anything more

The really spooky thing is, Wal-Mart sell DD disks at under $5

Not really, I've seen quite a few places here that sell them at 1.99 a
box...
Just not saying where ;-)

Book Sale in Stratford had them at 1.50. Until I bought them all.
