floppy track and head physical locations - keithcbm - 07-17-2020
Where is track 0? near the inner hub, or outer rim/edge of the disk?
Where is head 0? The top or the bottom of the disk?
When I find problems, it's helpful to know exactly where on the disk to look, and where to clean.
Thanks,
Keith

Track 0 is the outer most track (away from the center hub). Head 0 is the bottom of the disk, which is considered the “front side”. Because the label side is facing upwards. So, it’s backwards from what most people think.

SCP is really doing a very nice job with archiving my collection!
Thanks much!
