Re: [M100] New command line tool for TPDD and TPDD2

One thing to understand is that the TPDD-2 and TPDD-1 sector access protocols are completely different. The TPDD-1 sector access protocol is documented in the Tandy official software reference manual for the TPDD-1. I've never seen any similar document or information for the TPDD-2. But as you

Re: [M100] New command line tool for TPDD and TPDD2

The old disk utils I see on m100 archives that claim any sector level access, require the original stock dos to be installed, so they use routines from floppy.co / flopy2.co like libraries rather than doing it directly themselves. I haven't looked at lapdos yet to see what it can do. I'd be

Re: [M100] New command line tool for TPDD and TPDD2

I would like to be able to archive and reproduce the utility diskettes just on general principle, and I would enjoy contributing towards that in the case of the original TPDD, since I have a couple of them and a utility disk. I don't have a TPDD 2, so I can't help in that area at this time.

Re: [M100] New command line tool for TPDD and TPDD2

Thanks, Ron: Looks like I did indeed mis-remember that they're 'ordinary' diskettes. So, while there are several ways to *copy* an existing diskette, is there any way to create a 'boot' diskette from scratch, i.e. an image or set of files? Is it even necessary? AFAIK you can install

Re: [M100] New command line tool for TPDD and TPDD2

Hello Mike: As I recall, the "Utility Diskette" of the TPDD and the "Utility Diskette" of the TPDD2 are formatted as boot diskettes, rather than as data diskettes. Their boot records, that originate as sector 0 and have a special lead-character in their file name, house their disk service:
