I gave it some thoughts and here's what I've come up with. The Idea is to make it possible to handle it on a real SAM using CD-ROM and CF in the future.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- SDI or Sam DiskImage is a new diskimage format to replace the .DSK .MGT and .SAD diskimages. Key features are crc protection, a flexible format and smaller diskimages. Diskimage sizes are reduced by not including unused or empty sectors on a disk. Information to keep track of the sectors that are used is achieved with a minimum of overhead.
I don't quite understand it all but I did read through it and it does sound like it meets all our needs - looking forward to the more techy people discussing this.
