Disk image formats

Anyone who knows about specs on the common disk image formats, like .d64 .g64(?) etc.. What i'm extra curious about is the use of +35 tracks, like Krestology/Crest (37-38 tracks), DigitalWorld/Samar(40 tracks). I have my own d64-editor already, so that's not the problem.

I assume there's no set standard for this since it's only weirdoez using it for fun. Vice seems to handle Krestology d64 and Samar (g64), but most transfer progs seem to be limited to 35 tracks. I can't just create a .d64 with 40 tracks if it's not reasonalby possible to transfer to 5'25.

..and i don't want to code a tool, like in Krestology, or.. maybe i want to :). But noone would use it today :(.

Is there a tool like c1541 or cc1541 which can also write to tracks 36-40? Or do I have to resort to star-commander to make a 40 tracks .d64? Or do I need to code my own? (I don't have time for this!)

Also, I'd really (like really) like it if I could also abuse track 18 (like I can with cc1541), but I can't do that with starcommander..

What do you guys use?

To patch my cc1541 to handle 40-tracks is a 30 minute patch job. Just do it... Update the sectors per track table and change the malloc and bam-handling. Presto!
