- Format Disk:
- ------------
- - Ask for disk type. (104, 204, etc.)
- - (find format parameters in wicap)
- - Inform about formatting.
- - (format and partition disk)
-
-
- Burn-in Test:
- -------------
- - Ask for disk format. (mfm or rll)
- - (pick correct test pattern)
- - Inform progress of test.
- - Which cycle.
- - Reading or Writing.
- - Which cylinder.
- - Number of bad sectors found.
- - How to get in or out of program.
- - <ctrl-S> to suspend;
- - <ctrl-R> to restore;
- - <ctrl-Q> to quit;
- - If keyboard input to suspend or quit occured in the middle of operation,
- program will continue to the nearest cylinder.
-
-
- Input Defects:
- --------------
- - Ask disk format and tester used. (mfm or rll)
- - (decide on which formula to use:
- if disk is rll format with mfm tester used -> byteoffset x 1.5)
- - Ask if want to keep original defects if BSL already exists.
- - Yes means they are adding entries.
- - No means they want to re-enter whole list.
- - Put up inputing box.
- - Editable fields available:
- - head number
- - cylinder number
- - byte offset from index
- - Options available:
- - Next button to input next entry.
- - DONE button when all defects are entered.
- - Error checking: (an entry includes all 3 numbers)
- - Hit Next with incomplete entry. (ignore empty entry)
- - Alert box saying so. (entry just entered won't be put in list)
- - Ask if want to examine defects entered.
- - Editable fields available:
- - head number
- - cylinder number
- - byte offset from index
- - Options available:
- - Next button to examine next entry.
- - Delete button to delete current entry.
- - Error checking: (an entry includes all 3 numbers)
- - Hit Next with incomplete entry. (ignore empty entry)
- - Alert box saying so. (entry just entered won't be put in list)
- - Inform if end of list is encountered, and ask if want to examine
- defects entered again.
- - Yes: start from beginning of this step.
- - No: get out.
- - (calculate physical sector numbers from defects entered, put them
- in BSL, and mark them in FATs. May need to find out partition info
- from root sector.)
-
-
- Procedure to be taken when running FHDX:
- ----------------------------------------
- - Format.
- - No special order for burn-in or inputing defects. But preferably,
- input defects first.
- - (Or, inform them to keep list when first input defects after burn-in)
- (Because if burn-in find bad sectors, BSL already exist, and at
- beginning of inputing defects, FHDX will ask if they want to keep
- existing list.)
