Science Center Lines: 10 I'm trying to get a uVAX to read rainbow ms-dos diskettes, but they seem to have a different format from what standard ms-dos books say the format is. Supposedly, starting from track 0, sector 1, there should be a boot sector with a 3-byte jump command to start the opsys up, followed by a bunch of info such as a opsys name, #tracks, #sectors/track, #bytes/sector, #directory entries, etc. Does anyone know where to find this information on the rainbow ms-dos diskettes?
