Hallo allemaal,
First an SHORT update on 1541: it seems things run fine with the BAM on 0/0
and the directory on 18/x.
So I went a step further: not needing to store the label in the BAM, I
thought I could use the rest of this sector for more BAM info. So I told
the drive it had 63 tracks and 24 sectors/track, for EVERY track. A nice
1123 free blocks. Then I started my test program. After a lot of testing I
found out I was only able to create a REL file with 720 records (726
blocks), each holding 254 bytes. If there were already other files on the
drive didn't matter.
If I try to create a greater file, my 1541-IDE hangs up. But... my 1541-II
does as well: no flashing LED, motor stops running after a few seconds.
Bug? No, but it won't win a beauty contest IMHO.
