I have re-opened the Applesauce store after an extended holiday break. Apple 3.5 Sync Sensors are back in stock. And there is a new Naked Mac Drive Adapter (very limited supply) that allows you to connect bare 800K and SuperDrives directly to Applesauce without needing the A9M0106 enclosure. https://applesaucefdc.com/order/

A recent release of the Applesauce client has added a new camera feature. It utilizes any connected camera to be able to take snapshots of floppy disks as you image them. Simply take the pictures and then image your disk. When you save your disk image, the snapshots will automatically be saved along side your disk image and named appropriately to match the disk. A super simple process that only ta

Well, we now know what it takes to makes real working Nabu PC disks. But it also leads us to a few problems. There are no current sector-based disk image formats that can properly contain these disks as none of them can deal with the speci…
Turns out that it isn’t a key to unlock a DPB. It actually is a complete DPB. It is laid out like this:
A1 A1 <4e x 12> <4 bytes that are maybe volume/disk id> 00 <DPB>
And it translates to:
spt = 40 ;Number of 128-byte records per track
b…
The Nabu runs CP/M and is failing to boot, so what would be needed to successfully boot the disk? CP/M has a LOT of variants. Like a stupid amount of them. They are all organized a bit differently, but have very similar structures. To be a…
There is a special sequence of data written to track 0 in what would normally be out-of-band data. In checking the 2 known good disk images, the 2 sequences looked like this:
A1A14E4E4E4E4E4E4E4E4E4E4E4E190F2D1A002800030700C2005F00E0000018…
What could this possibly mean? I needed to go one level deeper into the disk encoding. MFM bytes aren’t 8 bits long in reality, but are instead 16 bits. A funky mix of clock and data bits with an added layer of rules that make it a bit wei…
This of course leads us to the assumption that there must be some out-of-band data coming into play in the boot process. Not something you really see very often, but the only thing that made any sense as to why the A2R would work but not t…
After getting an A2R flux image of a working disk, I did a bit of looking at the disk and the flux level and it seemed pretty normal. Plain old IBM sectored disk. Double-density MFM disk with 5 x 1024 byte sectors across 40 tracks. Nothin…
There has been a lot of buzz around the Nabu PC from Canada recently. Being that I had never heard of it before, I wasn't particularly interested. Then I saw some chatter about being able to image the disks, but they couldn't be written b…
