Subject: OMNIFLOP help

Hi Jason  Could you help with this one please?



I have an Interak - homebrew Z80 computer CP/M - which uses standard 3.5
inch floppies. Exactly the same type as fitted to IBM PC's.

I am using the 720KB type disks (with one hole) and the Omniflop program
says I have a normal DOS disk when it tries to identify my CP/M disk. 
Although I can see some data when it is saved as a PC file I cannot read
individual files.



I would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction or
(better still) add the Interak format to your list, details as
follows.....



Physically - the disk is double sided with 10 x 512byte sectors per
track  i.e 20 x 512bytes per cylinder.

It is formatted with a skew (or interleave) of 2



When running STAT DSK: under CP/M the following Drive Characteristics...

 6240:  128 Byte Record capacity

  780:   KiloByte Drive capacity

  256:   32 Byte Directory entries

    64:   Checked Directory entries

   512:   Records per Extent

    32:   Records per Block

    80:   Sectors per track

    2:    Reserved Tracks
