e will go into how the DISK2 controller works. How bits are written and
read from disk. How copy protection works. How weak bits work as a protec
tion and why \, if Apple had done a little change to the prom on the contro
ller\, weak bits wouldn’t exist\, and they could have stored 20 sectors per
track instead of 16!. Then he’ll talk about how the flux-copier overcomes
all these things and how the emulator works. He’ll demo it in action.
