The images are low destiny KiB 3'5in floppies. I'll discuss this more in the next article. More like this Score: The work varies quite a bit, involving many kinds of CPU and OS from the ancient to the very latest, but is nearly always low-level.

Xenix - Computer History Wiki
From the TeleDisk images, by comparing where duplicated sectors were and what were we were scp I wrote a tool to find the missing sectors in the raw, and convert TD mapping to linearwe managed to put together I1, I2, N3, B1, and one of the X disks. I think the zco thing we didn't recover is a single sector on N5 which is part of adb.
Plus it is cool and nerdy what they did. Unfortunately, the system would hang almost immediately after. I'm a bug in the backend code.
I'm just a phantom of your imagination. Might help me and Michal figure out some of the what went wrong part of this. TD0 images shows why.

If this person just needs a kind word to get involved, then it's totally worth it. I see what you did there. Interestingly the 32 year old disks read just fine on a first attempt.
Sometimes just running a flux image through a different decoder will have success, and other times a tad of bit shifting and guessing a few bits can fix things. Teledisk was designed with the ability to read some forms of floppy copy protection, including duplicate sectors on the same track applications will re-read the same sector and see that the content changes. I guess I'm not part of SN.
