Yes, and yes :-)
I changed the code from example HANDLE h =

OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL) to
There are some USB to SCSI adaptors, which OS X fully supports, and
SCSI floppy drives, but overwhelmingly they are of the LS-120 type,
i.e. 100+mb 3.5 drives that are backwards compatible with old
floppies. So probably they'd have PC geometry hard coded at a
different place.
What sort
Activision, IIRC, owns the Infocom games.

That's pretty much it I'm afraid! USB floppy drives are seen as simple
block devices, and the linear-CHS mapping is done inside the unit. I

Hmmm, so Sam DOS numbers tracks from 0, but sectors from 1? Or am I
suffering a deficit of logic?
Follow-on questions - does Pro-DOS use 9 or 10 sector tracks and/or is
there a CP/M tool for imaging Sam format disks, I guess to multiple
floppies if necessary? I guess it's best to contact Edwin

Yes, tracks 0-79, 128-207 and sectors 1 to 10.
The Atom won't read disk images from a FAT32 volume on the compact
flash and just make them looks like dfisks to the Sam?
Atom,

Yes.
sectors are 1-10. tracks are 0-79
the fun part (that used to throw many people) is the head selection.
sam has:
sector #C H S (cyl, head, sect)
1 0

Most systems use 1-based sector numbers, though the BBC Micro and Opus
Discovery both use 0-based. SAM track numbers are still 0-79 on both
sides, and the 128-207 numbering
Steve Parry-Thomas has been using a Spectrum emulator to convert CPC
CP/M images to a format that Pro-Dos can read. Edwin has also been
working on storing CP/M images in Atom records, so no floppies needed
there either.
Yep! I have tried to restore a number of HiSoft Packages that were for
Various thoughts in response to this entire thread...
I like Pro-DOS because it feels like a real operating system. But I've
never seriously used it. It's a shame that CP/M didn't offer standard
(albeit likely to be much-slower-than-native) graphics routines, or
maybe there'd be a whole bunch of

Correct.
Having hardware that would mimic the WD1772 for mass-storage would be
overkill I think, and drastically more
