1 credit.

you are correct. not even near.

i have never looked at a dvd track 1 until now. and now that i have i am
at a wonder about what i have read about using a bootable floppy to create
a bootable dvd.

i presumed that by using a floppy, it's bootsector would be used to apply to
sector of dvd. i know know how much i was mistaken.

i ran 'dd' 2048x1 to see what would be there and it was all 00. x10 was
all 00. x100 and i found it blank all the way thru 0x7fff. at 0x8000 is
disk label info.

after that bit of disappointment, i decided that i will search web tonight
to see what i can find on layout of track for cd's and dvd's.

i am in cst zone, so it will be a little while after 0600hrs utc before i
go look.

i noted another reply in thread. possibly i will be save some time by one
who is knowledgeable with plastic mirrors. :o)

linux format has a hardware id program that is supposed to be able to pull
all that info. have used it a couple time with some early installs, but do not
recall if it does mainboard info.

i quit beer in 1962 while stationed at tyndall afb, fl. out with a crew from
barracks and was introduced to boiler makers, i was stone on 3rd. after a long
recovery next morning of 2 hours in shower with straight cold water, i swore
off beer. still drank up to about 35 yrs old and then quit all but a greek
liquor called metaxa. made from grapes and is of 2 ratings of 5 and 7 star.
7 star is 92 to 98 proof. 3 to 4 shots are my limit and do not drink them
very often.

broadcast engineers never die, they just 'cherry out their finials'.
