Hello all, I'm trying to build an RD53 image that I can transfer to a real RD53 on an 11/73. I did the same with an RD52 on another system and it worked perfectly, but I noticed something odd about the RD53.
The RD52 image size is 30,965,760 bytes. That maps exactly to 480 cylinders, 7 heads, 18 sectors/cylinder, 512 bytes per sector. (480 * 7 * 18 * 512 = 30965760). The RD53 image that SIMH generates, on the other hand, is 71,000,064 bytes. This does not match what I would expect. The RD53 is 1024 cylinders, 8 heads, 17 sectors/cylinder, 512 bytes per sector. That should be 71,303,168 bytes, shouldn't it? Is something wrong with my math, or one of my assumptions? -Seth _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
