Subject: 1771 <-> 179X diskette conversion
I have a small quantity (20 or 30) diskettes that were written with a Tarbell
single density controller.. Tarbell (back when I used to use one) had chosen
some sync byte or something in the formatting of sectors that made disks
formatted with this controller unreadable on a 179X controller. I seem to
remember there being a program that would convert the old formating information
to something that was compatible with the newer double density format.. Can
anyone point me to a solution?? Would be much appreciated.
