    Hello,
    
    Does anyone have information with regard to the disk drive supplied
    with the 520STFM.
    
    I want to write some programs so I can access the drive i.e.
    
    	o Explore sectors on a disk
    	o Display contents of sectors
    	o Use all the 82 tracks on a disc that are available
    
    
    Can anyone help on this ?
    
    I know at one time documentation for the internals of the ST
    where available on the net, is the information I require in it.
    If so can anyone tell me the location so I can copy it ?
    
    Regards,
    
    Chris

|     There are many good 'disk doctors' around in the PD. I've used
    DISK-DOCTCOR, Disk Mechanic, Michitron Utilities, etc. All are
    good quality and easily available. They all have the functions you
    mentioned, so this may save you inventing a circular thingie !
