NS> How to format, read and write
sector, with the numbers # F6, # F7 in TR-DOSe?
Read and write the most ordinary way.
Format slyly. When a controller asks for formatting the sector
number, nyzhno podsynyt emy # F7. In sharp ones he writes 2
bytes of control symmy, kotoryyu decides based on the past 2
bytes (the number track number side). Poetomy order
to get him to write instead of
control symmy what we need (namely,
sector number [any, including the # F6, # F7, and
etc.] and dliny sector) must be chosen
correctly, according to his (VG93) algoritmy
counting control symmy track number and
number of parties. But, back to the formatting. After these
manipulations on the track has finally arrived are played:
nom.dorozhki; nom.storony; nom.sektora the length of the sector
formed VG'shkoy team # F7.
Further, according to formaty MFM need to write 2 bytes of
control symmy title sector. But since the SH has finally
arrived recorded something similar, then these must first
calculate pychkami and podsynyt has finally arrived in the
finished form. For all this nyzhen like you has finally arrived
guessed ishodnyak to count counter.
symmy algorithm SH.
P.S. Presented method is not yniversalen,
as have, as a rule, rather than by track number and record a
kakyyu biliberdy. Secondly, if the records of these
bytes or iskystvennoy control symmy
nyzhno bydet record any prohibited nibyd type byte of the same
# F7, then bydet BIG meat.
