Subject: How to use unix dd to read Kaypro disk
I am attempting to use the unix dd command to read
a Kaypro II diskette. Has anyone done this before and
if so, what are the proper parameters. The Kaypro
diskette has the following configuration
512 bytes/sector
40 sectors/track
8 sectors/block
block size=1K
disk size = 191K (usable space)
extents/entry = 1
# of disk blocks total = 195
max directory entries=64
double density
I am trying to read this on a Compaq 386/33 running
Interactive Systems Unix. What I hope to come up
with is a copy of the disk image on the hard disk that
I can then use to play around with and read some data
off of the diskettes.
Thanks , Mike
