RX50 is 80 track, single sided, 10 sectors per track (not the PC-standard 9 per track). All tracks are 2:1 interleaved. There is a 3 sector skew from track to track. And logical track 0 is physical track 1 (physical track 0 is logical track 79). The MSCP controller does this; on a Pro it's done in the driver. I've done it for RSTS, but it's easy to confirm by reading the source code of DEC drivers such as the one in RT-11. paul
