Hi Red,

Okay well I don't know who's zoomin who but ... I just checked the
vinculum web site and ...
VDAP firmware specification and command list (V1.07).
http://www.vinculum.com/documents/fwspecs/DS_VNC1L_FW_VDAP.pdf
Debug commands
�SD�<sp> <sector number in ASCII hex><cr> $03,$20,�$0D
Sector Dump. This is used for debug purposes and may be removed.
e.g. �SD 0000>cr>� will dump sector 0000. �SD 0010�<cr> will dump sector
16 decimal.
Sends back 512 bytes from the sector specified in HEX converted to
ASCII. Every 16 bytes is followed by a $0D. <prompt>$0D
�SW�<sp> <sector number 4 bytes MSB first><cr> <data bytes of size>
$92,$20,�$0D,< 512 bytes of data>
Sector Write. This writes a block of data to the sector specified.
Misuse of this command may destroy the disk contents.
<prompt>$0D
The SW command does not appear to be available in the VDIF command set
yet. it is one minor revision behind...
These guys need to talk to their support folks a little more ... maybe
when he said there were not enough resources in the chip ... he meant
that they plan to pull the direct sector access to make room for other
stuff ... so it looks like it's there but you shouldn't rely on it.
