Each disk drive connected to the Opus Discovery disk interface will have one of these blocks, if a disk is inserted. They follow the ZXSTOPUS block which identifies the number of drives.

Members

blk

The block header. The block id is ZXSTBID_OPUSDISK ('O', 'D', 'S', 'K').

dwFlags

Various flags. This can be a combination of:

Flag	Meaning
ZXSTOPDF_EMBEDDED	The actual disk image is embedded in this block.
ZXSTOPDF_COMPRESSED	If ZXSTOPDF_EMBEDDED is also set, the disk image in this block is compressed using the Zlib compression library.
ZXSTOPDF_WRITEPROTECT	Specifies whether or not the disk image is write-protected.

chDriveNum

Specifies the drive to insert this disk image into (0-1).

chCylinder

The cylinder the drive heads are currently over (0-86).

chDiskType

Specifies the type of disk image. This can be one of:

Value	Meaning
ZXSTOPDT_OPD	The disk image is in the .opd format.
ZXSTOPDT_OPU	The disk image is in the .opu format.
ZXSTOPDT_FLOPPY0	Real disk mode. Instead of using disk images, drive chDriveNum should use the first real 3½" floppy disk drive in a system. In Windows, this is the A: drive. Note: szFileName and chDiskImage are unused.
ZXSTOPDT_FLOPPY1	Real disk mode. Instead of using disk images, drive chDriveNum should use the second real 3½" floppy disk drive in a system. In Windows, this is the B: drive. Note: szFileName and chDiskImage are unused.

szFileName

The file name of the disk image which should be opened and inserted into this drive, if the disk image is not embedded.

chDiskImage

If the disk image is embedded, this member is the (possibly compressed) disk image to be inserted into this drive.

Remarks

These blocks follow the ZXOPUS block which identifies the number of drives.

When loading this block, you should use the chDiskType member to determine the disk image format, rather than the file extension of szFileName. This is especially important since these members are not valid when chDiskType is ZXSTOPDT_FLOPPYx.
