Possible disk I/O problem. about romwbw

[jayacotton]

I found that the buffer address must be 0x8000 or higher. With that I can read data. Now, however the problem is that its reading the same sector every time. I expected it to advance to the next sector
automatically ....

Well, it seems I can expect sequential sector reads to work.

@jayacotton, I see you closed the issue, so I assume everything is working OK at this point. It sounds like I need to highlight the requirement to keep disk buffers in high memory. Was there anything else about the behavior of RomWBW that you think should be improved?

Thanks,

Wayne

Hi Wayne: Thanks for looking at this. The only issue was the disk buffer address and my lack of understanding. I now have a working program for inspecting disk blocks on any of the drives. jc

OK, glad all is working. I happen to be doing some work on the documentation now, so I will add a warning about the location of the disk buffer.
