Hi Todd,
>TEST4, but this time, with partition #8 as the default partition. A value
of
>8 and 8 was found at offset $e2 and $e3.
I tested both the TEST4 and TEST8 images and made the necessary change to
CBMDISK to default to the "default" partition. Does simply logging the
partition with @CPn make n the default?
Update to CBMDISK to be uploaded.

Even though the entries are still in the system partition, their type is not
defined (1,2,3,4 or 255) therefore they are ignored by CBMDISK and I suspect
the FD-2000.
Now, what about the 800k FD-2000 disk format. Is this a 1581 format, or can
a native version be created on a double density disk? In which case, is the
system partition still in track 81, but with fewer disk sectors?
Many thanks for working through this...
