Disk: TRS-80
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The TRS-80 models I, III and IV (but not the II, 100, 2000, Colour Computer
|
|
or Pocket Computer) was a popular line of Z80-based home computers made by
|
|
Tandy Corporation and sold by Radio Shack. There were some of the first
|
|
generation of domestic micromputers, with the Model I released in 1978.
|
|
|
|
There were a myriad of different floppy disk interfaces, some produced by
|
|
Tandy and some by third parties, using all the various combinations of 40-
|
|
and 80-track, FM, MFM, etc.
|
|
|
|
Luckily the encoding scheme was mostly compatible with the IBM scheme, with a
|
|
few minor variations: when using FM encoding, the TRS-80 wrote the sectors on
|
|
track 17 (where the directory was) with a non-standard DAM byte.
|
|
|
|
FluxEngine's IBM reader can handle TRS-80 disks natively.

Reading discs
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Just do:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
fluxengine read ibm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should end up with an `ibm.img` of the appropriate size. It's a simple
|
|
array of sectors in JV1 format.
|
|
|
|
If you've got a 40-track disk, use `-s :t=0-79x2`.
|
|
|
|
If you've got a single density disk, use `--read-fm=true`. (Double density is
|
|
the default.)
