Including       DOS3.2 and Third Party DOS's?              DOS: track 17 sector 0 holds the VTOC. Everything else is potentially       variable.              ProDOS: block 2 holds the start of the volume directory. Everything else is       potentially variable.              Most disks follow the standard pattern: track 17 is a full catalog track,       ProDOS has 4 volume directory blocks followed by the bitmap. Detecting "most       disks" isn't the interesting part of the problem though. :-)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
