Well, its possible you've damaged the drive, but they are pretty solid, so assuming you haven't misconnected any cables, etc, you can...

Ahh, got it - My bad description is at fault here. The assembler doesn't hold normal instructions in the label table. I just use the...

The heads are pretty solid.... The whole drive is pretty solid for that mattter. Look for bits of magnetic material that have shredded...

With the latest update, only opcodes and assembler directives can't be used as labels, and group labels and normal labels can coexist...

I had an osborne-like drive in a Kaypro - same mechanism. Anyway, it failed due to grease going solid int he drive... I just cleaned it...

Macro's don't have a global scope. All macros in my assembler are labels, so if you can hide a label, you can hide a macro. The only...

It would be very inefficient on a z80 based system to search up to 50K of label space before decoding opcodes but could be done with a...

I only just noticed this - I note the WD1002 interface has 40 pins, but the WD1002-SHD ( which I assume is used in a bunch of old CP/M...

It's more that there's been lots of good ideas, and I'm working out which ones I can fit into the current architecture. Some I still...

That's a great link, thank you. One of the best and exactly in line with some of what I was looking for ( and didn't previously find )...

No problemo Yeah I'm not sure how someone would have imaged an IBM 5160 HDD in 1983 for example, outside of removing it and copying it...

In the old days, you just hooked up two drives, fdisk/format/sys it, and used xcopy. That was cloning before NT4. I'm pretty sure it...

Actually I was getting the feeling that the impression I gave was that I didn't do testing, so thought I'd correct that to better inform...

Given the problems with bad sectors on DOS, I would have thought that cloning went against the technology of the era, outside of...
