The docs look like the Apricot is using a standard IBM scheme format, so this should just be a matter of creating an appropriate configuration file. See for example: https://github.com/davidgiven/fluxengine/blob/master/src/formats/psos.textpb...

The docs I've found says the Xi uses a normal FAT filesystem; FluxEngine supports that natively, so with the right settings you should be able to read and write files...

I bullied minifat into reading the filesystem. Thank you for the link; it'd never have occurred to me to get that kind of technical detail from Wikipedia... I see three...

(Addendum: it'll need more work to allow minifat to actually create these filesystems. I don't know what parts of the header are necessary for the Apricot to detect it as...

Oops, I forgot how to tell you how to use the filesystem code. Either use the GUI, or: ``` fluxengine ls ibm --720_96 -f drive:0 fluxengine getfile ibm --720_96 -f...

Fiddling with it in the editor shows that if you reply by email you don't get markdown!

I'm sorry, I've been working on other things. Looking at you calling `fluxengine ls` above, it appears that the filesystem is being corectly parsed. Do the contents of the files...

That's the disk label, and should be ignored. The actual useful bits start further on --- there's a good reference here: https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/fs/fat/fat-1.html ...but that doesn't contain the Apricot changes. There's...

Hm. Interesting that it's always failing on precisely one sector. Could you try reading the disk back again using the GUI, then select one of the failed tracks and take...

That's entirely plausible. I did try to add support for write precompensation in the past, but it just made things worse. It seems none of my hardware requires it. It's...
