The Amiga trackdisk device directly drives the disk, controls the disk motors, reads raw data from the tracks, and writes raw data to the tracks. Normally, you use the AmigaDOS functions to write or read data from the disk. The trackdisk device is the lowest-level software access to the disk data and is used by AmigaDOS to access the disks. The trackdisk device supports the usual commands such as CMD_WRITE and CMD_READ. In addition, it supports an extended form of these commands to allow additional control over the trackdisk device.
