Agreed. :) BTW, does anyone know what I have to do with a TD0 file to convert it to a dsk or sad for use in simcoupe? >I would like to see ALL stuff in simple DSK or SAD files.

With large numbers of files, the size matters quite a lot actually... so I'd really want to go with sad.gz. BTW, what needs to be done to convert a sad file to a dsk and vice-versa? Dsks appear to be simple raw 819200 byte (800k) files. So what's a sad version 1 and a sad version 2? Is version 2 *exactly* the same, but gzipped? (I.e. can I gunzip a version 2 sad.gz and expect it to work as a version 1 sad without any potential problems?) >(I'm aware this wan't be accepted.

Isn't your SAMplay format the only thing we've got? I've got no idea how to do it anyway. :-( -- Stuart Brady
