Oh, interesting!
Yeah, I can read the pack back with PDP11GUI (another couple hours, ugh, but
we’ll see what we see.)
I’m thinking it would be handy to have a bit of standalone code that would just
read through a pack and dump CRC-16 for each sector out the console for
purposes like this. Then I could just blast over single sectors that don’t
match. Maybe I’ll work on coding up that bit of MACRO while the longer
complete dump is running…
