Re: Volume Number support for .dsk images

[noone@nowhere.net]

Since the emulators don't really read the disk anyway, an emulator 
author could just verify a DOS 33 disk on mount (or whenever it is 
determining sector dsk vs PO order or whatever) and hold that info in a 
variable and drop it into the RWTS routine whenever a sector read is 
called.  :)  Now if the software is actually pulling nibbles off the 
5.25" disk, then it is not going to work, but regular program looking 
for a volume number will be polling the RWTS Volume location after a 
read. (Which should work.)

Thankx,
