With physical layer, I'm talking about the way bytes are physically stored Storage media, from the magnetic layer to the files and directories layer.

4.2.1 How to find the first sector of an entry ?.What is the logical organisation of an Amiga volume ?

What is the Amiga floppy disk geometry ? 4. How bytes are physically read from and written to a disk ? The intent is to explain in detail how the Amiga storesįiles and directories on floppy and hard disks.Ī set of C routines (ADFlib) will be supplied to manage the ADF format.
