DISKDEFS(5)

NAME
diskdefs - CP/M disk and file system format definitions

DESCRIPTION
The diskdefs file contains CP/M format descriptions, because CP/M in general does not store those in the file system and there are no standards of any kind.

A diskdefs file consists of one or more entries of the format:

    diskdef name
      seclen size
      tracks count
      sectrk count
      blocksize size
      maxdir count
      boottrk number
      [skew number]
      [skewtab sector[,sector]...]
      [os 2.2|3|isx|p2dos|zsys]
      [offset size]
      [logicalextents count]
      [libdsk:format name]
    end

skew and skewtab must only be used exclusively.

Comments are marked with a leading hash or semicolon and extend to the end of the line.
