(24/09/2017) This image was made by Georg Schaefer with the mfm-reader/emulator by David Gesswein. http://www.pdp8online.com/mfm/ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mfm-discuss/ For fist we noticed the interleave so it isn't easy to take a look onto the hexdump The image is obviously mixed up, but another dump of the second disk shows the same schema, so I hope that the disk drive is identical with the original and will work in the real computer. Here is a dump from the analysis: Board revision B detected Found drive at select 1 Returning to track 0 Drive RPM 3601.8 Matches count 34 for controller Xebec_104786 Header CRC: Polynomial 0xa00805 length 32 initial value 0x0 Sector length 512 Data CRC: Polynomial 0xa00805 length 32 initial value 0x0 Selected head 4 found 0, last good head found 3 Read errors trying to determine sector numbering, results may be in error Number of heads 4 number of sectors 17 first sector 0 Interleave (not checked): 0 3 6 9 12 15 1 4 7 10 13 16 2 5 8 11 14 Drive supports buffered seeks (ST412) No sectors readable from cylinder 612 Stopping end of disk search due to two unreadable tracks in a row Number of cylinders 612, 21.3 MB Command line to read disk: --sectors 17,0 --heads 4 --cylinders 612 --header_crc 0x0,0xa00805,32,5 --data_crc 0x0,0xa00805,32,5 --format Xebec_104786 --sector_length 512 --retries 50,4 --drive 1 --begin_time 100500
