You can extract the information you want from C= Hacking magazine issues 4 and 5, in an article called "Little Red Reader". The articles give a complete source listing and explanation for the whole program, including the low-level routines for reading/writing raw disk sectors. You can get C= Hacking from the net at (among many other places): http://ccnga.uwaterloo.ca/~csbruce/HACKING/Hacking.html ftp://ccnga.uwaterloo.ca/pub/cbm/hacking.mag/ The programs are for the C128, so you'll have to transfer data from the FD's memory to a C64 in some way other than using the burst protocol, if you're using a C64.
