Does the directory change when you validate the disk? If so it could just mean that the disk contents are still in the buffer. If you initialize rather than validate what does it do? Just a comment: I think this is the first time I've seen talk of cbmlink. I didn't think anyone actually used it. I used it in 2006/7-ish when I first got back into cbm equipment, but zoomfloppy came out shortly after with IEEE support and I kinda forgot about it. Actually I had added cbmlink support into my CBMxfer (CBM-Transfer) but no one ever emailed me that they actually used it.... oh well.

DOS differs between the two. My guess is that 1541 shows static data stored in the directory sector, while the other one uses actual sector's metadata. I don't get what you mean. A disk transferred to a 1541 ends up with 18,0 "overwritten" by the .d64 18,0 sector, while when transferring to a 3040 (DOS 2, so actually 4040) the 18,0 sector on disk remains the same as it was originally formatted, so it shows always 664 blocks free until I issue a VALIDATE to that disk. It looks like the 3040 doesn't actually overwrite the 18,0 sector, which seems odd to me. I tend to think there's a difference in the PET 3000 cbmlink "server" code maybe.
