The format process

Post by DFL »

Hey Jeff,

in another post you told me "the format is a complete different write process".

Can you point me some documentation about this? (Or explain the process). I really would like to know more about this.

Thanks.

Format Write : the floppy controller write a full track without interrupt -> no enough memory in the PIC18F
Sector Write : only a sector data and crc written : the pic can store 512 byte of data in ram.
