Talk:ND floppy disks

As for reading Sintran file systems copied off floppy disks, I have written a tool to do that. I will update the page later with a link etc. TArntsen 18:58, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Me too! Although, it is in a serious hardcoded mess right now but I will clean it up. As the floppy disks uses the same layout as a full Sintran system my code should be able to extract all files from any disk image. Gandalf 11:42, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Same here, it supports subindexed files for example, which isn't often seen on floppies (as that is only used for files above 1MB in size). I have tested the tool with floppies with contiguous files (most ND floppies) and indexed files. Now if I could just find a CCT drive so that I could copy off one of my actual disc images :-) TArntsen 12:05, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Use this fresh one I found in my satellite a couple of days ago. Image directory --Gandalf 12:35, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for sharing! I already found a problem in my user file handling. TArntsen 14:29, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Now fixed! :-) Done TArntsen 15:04, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Adding references

I didn't get a new reference added correctly. Is it possible to use <ref>{{ND-Doc|nn.yy}}</ref>
at all? In this case it was a doc not in the document list. So I added it (60.250), which didn't help,
and I tried adding it manually in Refereces just like the three others. Didn't work. So I've got two
questions really.. first, the one about doc refs inside <ref> tags, and secondly if there's more to
adding documents to the document page in order to get the {{ND-Doc} thingy to work..

To get the ND-doc thingy to work you have to enter the document number into the ND-doc-lookup template too. I've been a bit lazy lately and haven't added new documents to the lookup table yet. I'll go through the list of known documents when I have finished the inventory of my library. It's all in a number of boxes stuffed in a room I let in a basement. It will probably be a work for some cold winter days. :-)

I've fixed the current reference. Done Gandalf 12:17, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
