Hee hee,
Yeah, if you want some C++ code, just look in VirtualT:
virtualt/src/tpddserver.cpp
virtualt/src/tpddserver.h
Not sure how I can be more open than that.

Sorry guys, but I'm jumping up on the soap box for this one. I'm quite
stunned by this email.
First, there is the official protocol put out by Tandy "Software
Manual For Portable Disk Drive" 26-3808
http://manx-docs.org/mirror/harte/Radio%20Shack/TRS-80%20Model%20100%20Portable%20Disk.pdf
There is a full writeup on bitchin100.com
http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=TPDD_Base_Protocol
And if that's not enough there is the TPDD2 sector access protocol
writeup
www.club100.org/memfiles/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=TPDD2-Sector%20Access.txt&directory=Kurt%20McCullum/TPDD%20Client&

To suggest that somehow those of us who have created TPDD emulators
are somehow hiding that information is silly. Ken and John have done a
huge amount of work and documentation and that has been for the
'benefit' of the Model-T community. LaddieAlpha/mComm/Desklink and
more are freely available for the 'benefit' of the Model-T community.
If others want to create a low cost TPDD emulator, I'm all for it.
We are not hiding any secrets here. Stepping down from the soap box now.
