Note that SAD format is older than SimCoupe, and I created it just to backup
standard diskettes, which sometimes do have more than 80 tracks. The rest
information describes the geometry, it is the same all across the disk.
Please don't call it useless because SAD is just a standard diskette image,
so it (1.)must contain diskette geometry information and (2.)don't need
anything else. It was not mentioned to handle any copy-protected diskettes.
The rest information (written by Si Owen) is 100% correct. In a short
sentence: SimCoupe can read almost anything you can imagine, so don't worry.

What do you mean with Disk geometry? I know that a disc has 80-82
tracks, 10 sector each, and 2 sides,
4 first tracks of a normal SAMDOS disc describes the directory, maximum
of 80 entrys. is this the disc
geometry or does it mean something different? I do not say SAD is
useless, but I just mean that it is missing
some features that "may" be useful in the future.
