Joan in Reno There's nothing on the DVI disks that are that exotic... Single-sided 40 track, 18 sector/track, 256byte/sector. There are Teledisk images on Club 100 (I think). At one point I was messing around with them on the CoCo. They are almost the same file-system as CoCo Disk BASIC (Microsoft FAT-8). With CoCo Disk BASIC patched for 40 tracks, it would be aprox. one weekend's programming to have a BASIC util to read/write the DVI disks... It would take a bit longer under OS-9 (I have a DECB program for reading CP/M disks, it's not that hard to replace the filesystem parts.) Unfortunately I don't have a DVI, so I left the project at "it could be done". :-( Willard -- Willard Goosey [email protected] Socorro, New Mexico, USA I search my heart and find Cimmeria, land of Darkness and the Night. -- R.E.
