Hiya,
I apologize in advance if this is a little "off topic"...I need the reference for the floppy disk format specification (ie. location of boot sectors, FAT, ect). I have searched exhaustively on google, but don't seem to be able to find any really "low level" information about the underlying geometry of the data organization on the disk. I have tried various queries to the effect of:
"floppy disk" + format
"floppy disk" + geometry
"floppy disk" + specifiction
MS-DOS + disk format
.
.
.
ect...
Possibly, I am not asking the right question? My searches turn up plenty of info on "how to format a floppy", but nothing on the "floppy format"
Any pointers in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Clandestiny
