>Can the 765 read 'raw' tracks, as well as pick sectors out of them? Yes. It can do essentially everything that a WD-style floppy controller can do except write raw tracks. You have to use the format command to write tracks. Thus a track must consist of sectors. This still allows more formats than anyone would want to support - the sectors can have weird ids and different sizes. Bruce
