* New geometry type added: "extsurface", for discs where the sector
numbers increase across both sides (eg: 1-9 on side 0, 10-18 on
side 1).
* New backend: IMD (for files created by ImageDisk). Read/write
support. Also has a built-in extra geometry probe, which may be worth
pushing to other drivers (eg: DSK, TD0) that carry a similar amount
of detail.
LibDsk is a library intended to give transparent access to floppy
drives and to the "disc image files" used by emulators to represent
floppy drives. It currently supports the following disc image
formats:
- Raw "dd if=foo of=bar" images;
- Raw images in logical filesystem order;
- CPCEMU-format .DSK images (normal and extended);
- CFI-format disc images, as produced by FDCOPY.COM;
- ApriDisk-format disc images;
- NanoWasp-format disc images, used by the eponymous emulator;
- Yaze 'ydsk' disc images, created by the 'yaze' emulators;
- Disc images created by Teledisk and CopyQM (read only);
- The floppy drive under Linux.
