FileCore_FloppyStructure

(SWI &40544)
Entry
R0 Pointer to buffer (must be >= 4k long)
R1 Pointer to disc record describing shape and format
R2 Flags
R3 Pointer to list of defects
Exit
R0 Preserved ?
R1 Preserved ?
R2 Preserved ?

Use

The purpose of this call is to create a RAM image of a floppy disc map and root directory entry.

Notes

The pointer to a list of defects is only needed for new map discs. You don’t need to know a FileCore instance private word to use this call; instead the disc record tells FileCore which filing system is involved.
