+OLD CS1 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 In the list of formats for the HxC floppy emulator it shows V9T9 and PC99 formats are supported. HxC2001 HeadQuarters : HxC Floppy Emulator http://hxc2001.free.fr/floppy_drive_emulator/index.html#FILESSUPPORTED I should probably know this, but I have been sick this weekend and cannot think straight, so forgive me being stupid. I assume the V9T9 is not a standard track dump. Is the PC99 format the same as DSK disk dumps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I thought we had a nice detail page somewhere, but as a quick answer: V9T9 format is just a sector dump, it contains the sectors concatenated together. Images larger than 90k may have the second half of the disk in reverse order (according to documentation I found), but this is rare. They will be 90k or an exact multiple of 90k if built right. PC99 format is an attempt at a true track dump, and contains inter-sector information. Paolo did some research and suggested on the Yahoo group that this inter-track data is neither correct nor useful for real disks. They will be a larger size than the sector data adds up to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sometimes99er Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 @lucien2 Yep, was looking for that. It's better (I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sometimes99er Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I believe they are both referenced in our sticky development thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 I believe they are both referenced in our sticky development thread. Might be at that, but as a "development" thread it is not the first place I would look for a generic FAQ. But then, I suppose a programming forum on Atari Age would not be, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
