The disk was labelled (presumably by someone at Arcom)
"BSCA-35 User 0 Normal Files User 1 Additional files for SGT1 driver"
The zip file contains 18 files, and grep returns no instance of the string "SGT1" in them.
I can see "SGT1" in the binary disk image, using ghex. So where did it go?
The directory area looks like this:
.db $ff,"READ ME ", "___",$0c,$01,"_______________" .db $ff,"ATLAS MAC", $01,"__",$35,$02,$03,$04,$05,$06,$07,"__________" .db $ff,"ATLASV MAC", $01,"__",$56,$08,$09,$0a,$0b,$0c,$0d,$0e,"_________" .db $ff,"BOOT ASM", "___",$;21,$0f,$10,"______________" .db $ff,"CHARIO ASM", "___",$15,$11,"_______________" .db $ff,"CHARIOV ASM", "___",$33,$12,$13,"______________" .db $ff,"COPY M","A"+$80,"C", "___",$45,$14,$15,$16,"_____________" .db $ff,"DISKCOPYM","A"+$80,"C", "___",$64,$17,$18,$19,$1a,"____________" .db $ff,"DISKFORMMAC", $01,"__",$2d,$1b,$1c,$1d,$1e,$1f," __________" .db $ff,"DRBIOS MAC", "___",$11,$21,"_______________" .db $ff,"DRVTBL A","S"+$80,"M", "___",$02,$22,"_______________" .db $ff,"FDPH ASM", "___",$18,$23,"_______________" .db $ff,"FLOPPY MAC", "___",$46,$24,$25,$26,"_____________" .db $ff,"LDRBIOS MAC", "___","S",$27,$28,$29,"_____________" .db $ff,"MEMORY MAC", "___",$1b,$2a,"_______________" .db $ff,"SYSCOPY M","A"+$80,"C", "___",$4D,$2b,$2c,$2d,"_____________" .db $ff,"TIME ","A"+$80,"S"+$8,"M", "___",$02,$2e,"_______________" .db $ff,"TIMES A","S"+$8,"M", "___",$16,$2f,"_______________" .db $01,"READ BAK", "___",$01,$30,"_______________" .db $01,"READ ME ", "___",$07,$31,"_______________" .db $e5,"ATLAS REL", "___",$14,$32,"_______________" .db $01,"ATLAS COM", "___",$11,$34,"_______________" .db $e5,"CH ASM", "___",$04,$31,"_______________" .db $e5,"ATLAS COM", "___",$11,$3b,"_______________" .db $e5,"ATLAS5 MAC", "___",$05,$33,"_______________" .db $01,"ATLAS MAC", $01,"__",$3b,$3c,$;3d,$3e,$3f,$40,"A__________" .db $01,"CHARIO ASM", "___",$15,$42,"_______________" .db $e5,"CHARIO BAK", "___",$15,"C_______________"
where underscore represent $FF.
The entries starting with .db $ff match the 18 files we have.
The others are allowed to have duplicate file names if they have different starter bytes ($01 or $E5).
indicates that
$e5 is a free slot (entry has been erased?)
$00 belongs to user 0
$01 belongs to user 1
so that identifies the extra files that need retrieving. Steve managed to recover the two files that were recoverable.
