Regarding stuff on Replacing Drive mechanism in Jasmine...
I have found that Jasmine drives have important drive information written to
'secret' sectors which preclude mixing of their formatting software with other
drives (even the same model). I imagine however (though never been attempted)
that a low level disk manager like SF&I could duplicate those sectors. I'll
have to give it a go one of these days.
