I have a Nabu PC that I've gotten disk images for. It runs CP/M 3.0. I've been trying to write out the disk image and it seems I am successful as I used the original 180k SSDD drive on a PC to write it out with IMD. I can read it back, dump both images and they compare correctly. I'm not sure if this is a 100% foolproof method but I think I am writing out and reading whatever the image is properly. It does not work. On the Nabu PC it starts to boot, doesn't go beyond track 1 (I think) and then continues to spin with the drive light on forever. If I put in another CP/M disk, I get a Boot Error.
There is no definition in 22disk for this and it's obscure enough that it makes sense but I can't seem to get a proper manual definition made. I am not a registered used of 22DISK so this is unsupported (I missed that registration window). Anadisk says there is data but no ids for each sector and keeps trying to add a sector of 105. Just for clarity, this disk is 5 sectors x 1024 bytes per sector SSDD. Just so I am not going crazy (because I have spent a few days on this computer), does the directory below look correct? If it is, I will soldier through and try to sort this out but I am thinking it just may be a bad disk image. My image PC is a P2 with Windows 98SE and the image is in IMD format. I used the original drive from the Nabu PC after trying a 360K drive and a 1.2MB drive with appropriate settings. Adaptec AHA-1542CF controller right now but I ordered an AHA-1522 just in case. I think I have tried everything so I just want to confirm I am not starting with a bad image.
This is a dump of the image with IMDU /B. It just doesn't look right according to the 22DISK example but maybe CP/M 3.0 is different with directory structure?
