Olivetti M20 disk format analysis

160K

We don't have any but we can guess.

320K

35 track total, from 0 to 34.

Track 0: FM encoding, 16 sectors, 128 bytes/sector.
Track 1-34: MFM encoding, 16 sectors, 256 bytes/sector.

Total disk size 286720 - readable by "m20" utility. That is about 1120 blocks * 256 bytes (considering first sector as a 256 bytes/sector size as many emulators do. IDK)

MAIN DISK BLOCK is at 0x20000 (track 16).

MAIN DISK BLOCK STRUCTURE

Main disk block is at track 16, that is 16 x 16 sectors x 2 sides x 256 bytes = 131072 bytes (0x20000)

First sector

struct m20dir_entry {
    cpg_u8_t  name[16];
    cpg_u32_t size;
    cpg_u32_t alloc_size;
    cpg_u16_t extents;
    cpg_u16_t flags;
    cpg_u16_t startsec;
};

Same as before, but the last two bytes are FF FF. If there are no dir entries, a directory sector is simply filled with FF.

Total sectors for the MAIN DISK TRACK is 16. (a full track)

Directory entries

16 bytes for the filename (14+2 unused) + 2 bytes for the address of the FILE HEADER. Total 18 bytes.

Example

HEADER STRUCTURE

dir. structure: file + puntatore al blocco dell'header file che
descrive lo stesso file. 14 bytes + 2 ??

Il file e' salvato in pezzi (extents), che sono il numero di PEZZI
DI ROBA DI SETTORI CONTIGUI DA 256 su cui sta il file

massimo 38 extents descritti PER OGNI header sector

4 bytes lunghezza file big endian
2 byte quanti extents sono questo pezzo
18 bytes che non sappiamo che sono
struttura vettore 6 bytes ciascuno x 38 pezzi
Alla fine 4 bytes: 
gli ultimi due sono FF FF se gli extents sono al massimo 38 o 37 non ricordo, 
altrimenti sono il link al successivo blocco header se hai piu di 38 pezzi extents
se la sua posizione e' >0x200 (20200?) aggiunge 0x10, non so spiegarlo ma riguarda compatibilita'
col drive da 160K

Il secondo HEADER ha solo la struttura vettore extentlist a pezzi di 6 bytes  (4 + 2) e poi finisce
con ff ff

dai src:
alloc_size e' la dimensione in byte, che e' extents « 8
che ricalcola

WPACK struct ALIGN_ file_header { /* sizeof: 256 bytes */

    struct extent extentlist[MAX_FILE_EXTENTS];
    cpg_u32_t     link;        /* 0xffffffff for last */
} ALIGN_2;

4+ 2 + 16 + 2 +38*6 + 4 = 256

il settore puntato dalla directory structure e' quello del file header
gli EXTENTS sono tutti i frammenti del file
i puntatori ad essi hanno il formato

Work in progress. analysis on disk named 640ksu12mb-noparam.img

70 track total, from 0 to 69.

Track 0: FM encoding, 16 sectors, 128 bytes/sector.
Track 1-69: MFM encoding, 16 sectors, 256 bytes/sector.

Total formatted disk size 573440. They're 2240 blocks * 256 bytes (considering first sector as a 256 bytes/sector size as many emulators do. IDK)

What follow is from the disk dump analysis:

MAIN DISK BLOCK STRUCTURE

Main disk block start at 0x40000 (track 32, middle of the disk as per specs and as noted in the disk dump!)

0x40000 Disk name if present
0x40038 FF
0x40039 FF ..... to
0x40070 FF
0x40071 FF and after that some 00
0x40200 Start of directory: first filename.
0x40FFF end of directory structure? this disk is packed full! no FF and stuff, just filenames 'till the end.

There are piaces of the dir at:

0x040000 - 0x041000 BEGINNING OF DIR this is the main dir block o come cazz si chiam. Files from PCOS.SAV to scomm.cmd. LAST 2 BYTES ARE 07 EF! so the dir must jump to something like 07EF or EF07? instead, seem to be 07FF instead... EF + 10? ...

0x07AE00 - 0x07B200 YES! Only the "clusters" file, and after that, all FFFFFF with the counting to some next directory block, as per directory structure!!! there are some of them and the last end at 0x7B200 but last bytes are 06 4F. let's go to 065F00 then...

0x065F00 - 0x066200 - a block is filled with 00 (strange! bad block?), the next jumps correctly at 066100 (last bytes being 06 51) and the last block ends with FF FF, that I think signal the END OF THE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE.

So the dir structure is a REAL MESS. A lot of records of 14 filenames on a single disk!

They seem to be 6912 bytes (0x1B00) for the entire structure; 27 blocks or 28?

Definition for 320K disk is

#define PCOS_DIR_ENTRIES_BLOCK 14 # of dir entries in one diskette block #define PCOS_NUM_DIR_BLOCKS 14 # of blocks containing the directory

Maybe we need to go to 28!

28 blocks x 14 files = 392 files on a single disk. exact double of 360K (14x14 = 196 files)

14 filenames enter in 0X100 BYTES (256 BYTES!) SO 27 blocks * 14 files equal 378 files in a single disk. or are they 28? the double of 14 from the 320K disk?

Note: There's stuff at 0x77400 similar to a dir. listing but is a print in ASCII, printed from the output of vq.

Directory entries

It's the same as 320KB.

16 bytes for the filename + 2 bytes for the address of the file minus 1 (256 bytes; 1 sector lower, 0x100). Total 18 bytes.

Example

Dir entry:

000402d0  00 00 00 00 00 00 05 6b  4d 45 4d 4f 52 2e 4f 00  |.......kMEMOR.O.|

As you can see, MEMOR.O begin at 9B06 (069B there). that is 089b06 in the disk dump. 
I don't know why. Maybe offset from some block position must be added?

14 directory entries (files) in a single 0x100 bytes block dir structure;

So 14 blocks for the entire dir structure, each with 14 filenames and pointers inside it. Total dir is 196 files for a single floppy directory. M20DIR_SIZE IDK what that is.
