Interesting.
If you have the cables, you can put a PC in between the TPDD2 and the Starlet
and use that serial sniffer utility I sent you to see what's going on. That's
how I figured out the TPDD2 sector access protocol.

STARDISK.COM is a TPPD2 file import/export utility for CP/M running on the
NEC PC-8401A(Starlet) or PC-8500. I've verified proper functionality with
real TPDD2 hardware so I have to conclude that yes the format of the
request is correct.

Almost seems like an FDC request. I've never encountered it.
There is a response code 4X (pg42 of manual) where X can be 0-F which would
include 48. But you are looking for a request not a response.
What does STARDISK.COM do?
Is the rest of the TPDD request formatted correctly?
