I'm halfway there. I was able to create an image of the Utility Disk by
reading every sector with the Windows utility I'm working on. I deviated a
bit from the backup program that is on the disk. That program only copies
the sectors that have data. It does this by analyzing each sector. I went
for a more brute force approach and decided to copy every sector even if
they are blank. I tried to read the data in 256 byte packets but the drive
didn't seem to be happy with it. I may try larger packets again but for now
each sector is read 64 bytes at a time just as the backup/floppy.co software
uses.

 

The image is interesting. There are two basic program listings which are not
tokenized. One for the 100 and the other for the 200. Then there is the
actual code for floppy.co for the 100 and another for the 200.

 

No I have to figure out how to write it back to a blank disk.....
