Read Read/display the logical sector specified. Logical sectors are always 256 bytes even
though physical sectors may be 256, 512 or 1024 bytes long. For example, if the
disk has 1024 byte physical sectors, then physical sector 0 is contained in logical
sectors 0 through 3. The sector is displayed in hexadecimal (on left side of display)
and in printable ASCII (on right side of display).
Next Read/display the next logical sector (current sector + 1).
Prev Read/display the previous logical sector (current sector - 1).
Find Find the specified data pattern between the specified start and stop sectors on the
disk. The data pattern may be specified as a string of up to 70 ASCII characters
(case sensitive) or up to 35 comma or space separated numbers representing
individual bytes. Each number may be specified in decimal or hexadecimal
(prefaced with ‘’0x’’). This operation can be aborted by pressing the ‘’Esc’’ key.
Modify Modify the currently displayed sector. The offset from the start of the sector is
specified as are the new values to place in the sector. The values may be ASCII
characters or comma/space separated numbers (bytes).
Note The sector is not modified on the disk until a Write command is performed.
Write Write the currently displayed sector to the disk, either at the same sector or a
different sector on the disk. The logical sector address may be specified in decimal
or hexadecimal (prefaced with ‘’0x’’). The default sector number is the last sector
that was read.
