Re: DSK to NIB Instruction

Reconstructing a physical floppy from a NIB image requires reinventing the
sync bytes (somewhere between easy and impossible, depending on the disk)

How do the emulators do it when using .nib images? Given the fact that there are a lot of .nib images out there that actually do work on an emulator, it seems the emulators somehow are able to deal with the sync issue?

and figuring out the actual track length (easy to moderately difficult,
depending on how the track falls).

Is there more to it than checking overlap bytes?
