Disk: Ampro Little Board
The Ampro Little Board was a very simple and cheap Z80-based computer from 1984, which ran CP/M. It was, in fact, a single PCB which you could mount on the bottom of a 5.25" drive.
All about the Ampro Little Board
It stored either 400kB on a double-sided 40-track drive or 800kB on a double-sided 80 track drive. The disk format it used was a slightly quirky variation of the standard MFM IBM scheme --- sector numbering starts at 17 rather than 1 (or Acorn's 0). FluxEngine supports this.
Reading discs
Just do:
fluxengine read ampro <format>
...where <format> is one of --400 for a 40-track disk or --800 for an
80-track disk. These are an alias for fluxengine read ibm with preconfigured
parameters.
FluxEngine has direct filesystem support for these disks, or you can pass the disk images into cpmtools:
$ cpmls -f ampdsdd ampro.img
