1.1 KiB
Disk: Elektronica BK
The BK (an abbreviation for бытовой компьютер --- 'home computer' in Russian) is a Soviet era personal computer from Elektronika based on a PDP-11 single-chip processor. It was the only official, government approved home computer in mass production at the time.
It got a floppy interface in 1989 when the 128kB BK-0011 was released. This used a relatively normal double-sided IBM scheme format with 80 sectors and ten sectors per track, resulting in 800kB disks. The format is, in fact, identical to the Atari ST 800kB format. Either 5.25" or 3.5" drives were used depending on what was available at the time, with the same format on both.
Reading disks
Just do:
fluxengine read bk800 -o bk800.img
You should end up with an bk800.img containing all the sectors concatenated
one after the other in CHS order. This will work on both 5.25" and 3.5" drives.
Writing disks
Just do:
fluxengine write bk800 -i bk800.img
This will write the disk image to either a 5.25" or 3.5" drive.
