Support for teledisk image format (TD0) #311

Closed Pyrofer closed 2 years ago

Pyrofer commented 3 years ago

The HP 200 series machines have a software archive that appears to be in teledisk format. This is old and only supported on vintage hardware itself. The TD0 files (example here http://www.hpmuseum.net/software/systest1.zip ) are rquired to get my HP 9826 working. I have only Greaseweazle hardware which natively supports only .scp (supercard Pro) file format. Can Teledisk support be added for the HP 200 series machines please?

The *.td0 images in that Teledisk .TD0 file are not good images. I've had a look at both with the HxC Software (Linux Version) and they are bad images. HP-td0

There are easier ways to convert good .TD0 Images to the format you want, versus having David jump through hoops to add conversion code. If you run Windows download and play with SAMDISK. It is a good package and will convert .TD0 files to several formats. https://simonowen.com/samdisk/ https://simonowen.com/samdisk/formats/

Also the HxC Software will do the same conversions, plus give the image view as shown above. Jeff's Software supports Windows & Linux. It works and can do more than just conversions. https://hxc2001.com/download/floppy_drive_emulator/

Linux: [url]https://sourceforge.net/p/hxcfloppyemu/code/HEAD/tree/[/url]

There are also the Imagedisk Utilities by David Dunfield. His TD02IMD, IMDA, and IMDU utilities will create .IMD, .RAW, and .TXT files from .TD0 Files. You can get good information on the *.TD0's Image. [url]http://dunfield.classiccmp.org/img/[/url]

If you are still not satisfied try out cpmtools built with libdsk. John Elliott has DSKTRANS that will convert from about any type Source Image to many different types Output images. I know you don't care about the OLD CP/M Images but they are supported. [url]https://www.seasip.info/Unix/LibDsk/[/url]

There isn't much sense for Mr. Given to duplicate the work of previous Software Authors that are providing free software.

If you want to use the Imagedisk Utilities, you can run DOSBox and execute a batch file to get the conversions automated.

A.BAT contains TD02IMD systest1.td0 > SYSTEST1.TXT IMDA SYSTEST1.IMD >> SYSTEST1.TXT IMDU SYSTEST1.IMD SYSTEST1.RAW /B /E /D >> SYSTEST1.TXT

Will get you a SYSTEST.IMD file along with a STSTEST1.RAW (Sector Dump) and information on the *.TD0 file.

Note: A .TD0 file is a container just like .IMD is a slightly different container for the data.

Can you supply a few different *.TD0 files for me to look at? I can't locate that SYSTEST1.TD0 file on the HP site.
THANKS.

In looking at your file with hexedit and using dsktrans to create a .RAW (Sector Dump) the file is only 0x1100 bytes in length which is 4352 bytes. I used this command:

dsktrans -itype tele systest1.td0 -otype raw systest1.raw

Input driver: TeleDisk file driver
Output driver:Raw file driver (alternate sides) Cyl 01/70 Head 1/1 Sector 016/016 Reading: Missing address mark.

Thank you for the long and detailed reply. I was actually asked to log this issue here after a conversation on reddit, so that's why it's here. As for your reply. Lots to take in (which is good?). Firstly and most importantly you say "The *.td0 images in that Teledisk .TD0 file are not good images. I've had a look at both with the HxC Software (Linux Version) and they are bad images."

Is that suggesting that they are corrupt or damaged in some way? ie, I can not get a good disk written from them?

My goal here is simply to make some boot disks for an HP machine. I already tried HxC which allowed me to load in the TD0 and export an SCP (Supercard Pro, the format my Greaseweazle supports). I made the disk from that scp and it does not work. I was suspecting the floppy drive but had no assurance the conversion and writing had gone well. From what you wrote I am thinking that the faulty .TD0 was the problem and converting it to SCP didn't help, making a faulty disk?

I've already got HxC and will gram samdisk to play with, but if there is a suspicion the images are broken anyway I might be wasting my time? edit - I just remembered I already tried samdisk, it requires a vintage machine with built in floppy drive. I sadly don't have one. I only have access to the Greaseweazle hardware for writing images. Samdisk doesn't appear to have the ability to convert between image formats. It wants a drive on one side of the process.

ldkraemer commented 3 years ago

If you have a look at the systest2.td0 file it is only 60KB in size, and systest1.td0 is 225.9KB. The second one could be good, but dsktrans would not extract it properly and neither would IMD (Imagedisk). I tried both then tried HxC to view the image. HxC should show good pie shaped slices for the sectors and not variable as this file is. I wouldn't expect it to boot. If you can download some better TD0 or IMD files you will get it booting.

I forgot to mention that dsktrans and SAMDisk will write direct to the floppy if you have the hardware attached. Does not work with USB floppy drives.

Do you know the layout of the floppy 80 Tracks of xxx bytes per sector, and xx sectors per track single or double sided? You should be able to make a close guess of the size by multiplying those parameters.

SAMDisk should convert from TD0 — Sydex TeleDisk (various) to raw — Raw sector dump in suitable regular format.

I've used it by running wine in Linux to extract *.RAW files. This works in Linux. [code] $ wine SAMdisk mykpiiboot1.scp mykpiiboot1.raw [/code]

Try to locate a couple good .TD0 or .IMD files.

I too have a GreaseWeazle, and Fluxengine, and Supercard Pro.

Thanks.

Well, there is a CP/M disk image here http://www.hpmuseum.net/software/CPM68K.TD0 It would also be fun to try the games disk here http://www.hpmuseum.net/software/200GAMES.zip They have quite a few, I was mainly interested in a boot disk / language such as basic. This is the museums boot+basic disk and is a more recent image so should be a good one? http://www.hpmuseum.net/software/BAS5BOOT.TD0

Thanks again for the help.

ldkraemer commented 3 years ago

I've downloaded those 4 files and extracted the *.TD0 files. Not sure what version of Teledisk should work to write these files, if it's possible to write them. Probably will take several attempts to reproduce them. I do see lots of problems. Here is just one example of what I am finding

The CP/M Image tells me there are mixed sector sizes within one track.

Just glad I'm not the Administrator of this mess. It's the same for all four Images. But, perhaps the correct version of Teledisk can/will write them correctly.

Note, the fifth byte of the Teledisk Image, when viewed as a HEX file should be the version it was created with, but this doesn't hold true for later versions as they all show the same 5.

I just don't see anyway possible they can be reconstructed as a Bootable image and used.

See, this is why I am having issues. If I can't even be sure the disk images are good how can I test the hardware! I tried with another floppy drive and got similar results. Examining the original floppy drive reveals a standard TM100-2A IBM floppy, that appears to work. Belt is ok, motors spin and the head jiggles when you power up. Disk spins and it finds "something" and starts to load. Then it sits spinning for ages without the head advancing until it fails with random disk related (cant find sector, crc etc) errors.

The drive seems to move right and changing the floppy didn't get better results so I am going to re-assemble the machine and say the floppy drive is ok and it's the images that suck. Now I need somebody with an original 9826 boot disk to make a working image for me.

It's actually done!

Well, sort of. The images do look a bit weird to me; they're 70-track 18-sector 256-bytes-per-sector images, but each one is missing sector 16 (they're numbered 0-17). This might be intentional, as I've found an English text string split between sectors 15 and 17. And there's only just enough space on each track for the 17 sectors present. However, other than that the images do seem to be syntactically valid. (I've only looked at the two systest images for the 9826.)

I've added an HP 9121 profile, but I've had to guess at pretty much all the numbers, so it may or may not work.

Also, I've discovered and fixed a massive memory corruption bug in the FluxEngine client core code, so that's good!

It's in the teledisk branch. PTAL? https://github.com/davidgiven/fluxengine/pull/312

pyrofer, Try these *.scp images and see if you can create a disk that boots.

Thanks.
