There is great news. The NABU disk images do NOT work on my NABU floppy drives. What both you guys ( @Chuck(G) and @durgadas311 ) figured out was correct for those disk images but that apparently is NOT the format for the NABU system I have, and I discovered I have Dave Dunfield's actual NABU system.
With the help of the recent NABU Network recreation software, I can access my disk drive and there are CP/M utilities in the menu. However, I am accessing it with a Rev A firmware as opposed the a Rev B firmware that provides a boot option for CP/M. I definitely know the original images do not work on my NABU drive either booting or trying to do a directory in the CP/M tools that are part of the Nabu Network. This is what I see when I try to access the CP/M boot disk that the image was created from (and checked with 22Disk):
I formatted a floppy in the Disk Utilities within NABU Network:
I used NABU Basic to add a coupleof one line BASIC test files and then did an ImageDisk and this is what was displayed.
The disk image NABUFLPY.IMD and a full binary dump NABUFLPY.DMP are in https://vintagecomputer.ca/files/Nabu/disk_images/
I am currently tryingto use this 22Disk definition. It works on the disk images just fine but not on the formatted diskette.
BEGIN NABU Nabu PC CP/M 3.0 SSDD 5.25"
DENSITY MFM,LOW
CYLINDERS 40
SKEW 1
SIDES 1
SECTORS 5,1024
SIDE1 0 1,3,5,2,4
BSH 3 BLM 7 EXM 0 DSM 195 DRM 95 AL0 11100000b AL1 0 OFS 1
END
Would anyone be willing to help provide a new definition?
I also have a question on how I might get the boot track off of the NABUPER1.IMD disk (because I think that works) and write it to the new formatted NABU disk. What tool is best for that?
Thank you.
