Can you explain what mainframe actually does when it seeks out track 36? : : Sure. The density is set to level 2 (typically used for tracks 18-24) and then loads about 100 bytes of functional code (used later) after finding a data patten. After that, the density switches to density level 4 (typically used for tracks 31-35) and every sector is checked to make sure they are valid. If your emulation does not support multiple densities on a single track (which none of them do), then your image will not work. There are several examples of this, like KwikWrite!, KwikSpell!, several different disk copiers, etc. : : Until some emulator allows for the full .g64 format (which allows for every byte being a different density level), there will be no way for emulators to support programs used multiple densities on the same track. : -- [/quote]
