I am writing a CP/M disk to TRS80 disk file transfer utility. Is
there a published list of the vital statistics of the formats used
by various manufacturers? i.e:

               Sectors per track
               Bytes/sector
               Sector sequence on each track
               Directory track
               Block size
               Density
               No of sides (2 max I hope !)
               Hard/soft sector
               Inter record gap lengths (between sectors)
               etc. etc.

If there is a significant response, I will summarize and post for all
interested to see.

          Thanks,
