 Hi Christian,
I do not know of a way to format only specific tracks. I suppose if you wrote custom code and downloaded into the drive itself you could probably do it, but I have no experience with that.

 Hello,
I just tried to copy the original 8050 disk with the layout software 1.14
for the HSG-card.
Its an 8050 disk called: "Platinenlayout-Software 8050"

I read the disk with zoomfloppy successfully, but track 0-10 are
unformatted. I wrote the image to a 8050 formatted disk and tried to load in
my 8032sk.
The layout-program loads at $0100 and has an autostart. Just after
autostarting I got the basic start message!

I think the software checks if the first tracks are readable... = copy
protection

Im able to write only track 11-77 with opencbm, but is there a way to format
only track 11-77 ?
If not, I have to try to hack the software ;)

Christian
