Interesting. RWTS18 has command for writing individual sectors with parameter bitmap similar to "read" command - which I don't see working for the 18 sector case, except if the whole track is written at once. Even writing of a single (1 out of 6) macro sector is little questionable with such small sync gaps as seen on the Toy Shop image.

Aren't all 18 sector tracks read-only in all installations? Is that RWTS18 write command actually for 16 sectors? Did I miss something?

Oh, and I should check Trinity some day ..

ps. I hope you read French ;-)

Unfortunately, no.
