I have a facit floppy drive connect

[CaKiwi]

I have a facit floppy drive connected to my pc via a sreal port and I am trying to figure out the format of the output from a directory command. When I send it
<esc<&HD:<dc1>
it replies with

HDR1 EOTADS~1.PP   256 00001109014 020107 09015

The DOS directory of thesame floppy is

         0 dir(s)         817,664 bytes free

The 4th field seems to be the time, the 5th is the date and the 6th seems to be the size. I don't know what the 3rd field (256) means. Any help would be greatly appreciated. CaKiwi

That's a serial port it's connected to, not a sreal port (or even a surreal port) CaKiwi

I am still trying to figure this out. Can anyone suggest another forum where someome might know the answer? CaKiwi

Experimentation seems to indicate that the last 5 digits of the 4th field hold the file size in 256 byte blocks. It is calculated by multiplying the first 2 digits by 32, adding the 3rd digit multiplyed by 16 and then adding the last 2 digits.
e.g. 09014 - (9*32+0*16+14)*256 = 77312
Does anyone have any more information on this? CaKiwi
