Here are some LTS titles that weren't on your list

From DFS Error messages http://chrisacorns.computinghistory.org.uk/docs/Acorn/AN/019.pdf I've not come across 0A or 14 on a standard BBC B (since "Sector not Found" would cover a disk not being formatted in a recognised way), might be a later Acorn machine, since the document is from 1992 ...

@billcarr2005 - My disc is Version 2 as well but is ADFS. Your DFS ones should be the same software just on a different filing system. Provided they don't do any *DISC or *DRIVE commands they could be copied onto ADFS to complete my set. Track 39,sector 9 had a deliberate CRC error. The sector was ...

Are you typing the BASIC program in with the PAGE at &1900? If it's the final program, ie. no more will need to be loaded afterwards, tape could be enabled and the PAGE dropped to &E00. If under emulation, might be worth developing on the BBC Master initially to keep PAGE low? Although it's ...

... On further investigation it appears to have been formatted at 40T on an 80T drive and the later tracks written at 80T if that makes sense. ... ADI reports tracks 19 onwards are unformatted on a 40T drive. On an 80T drive ADI reports all tracks formatted with normal data. Since this disc came fr...

Only tracks 0-19 of a 40T disc were formatted. Could this be related to the issue that affected the reporting of used tracks on the DLM titles? 20 x 2560 (or &14 x &A00) would give total data length of just 51200 (or &C800), whereas the SSD contains more than this? :? I've attached the ...

I've got both the 40T and 80T Version 2.0 DFS Signature disks with "Cannot be copied" on the label. Can take a look later, if it would be any use?

"Locked" means it's locked from anything except *RUN (or CHAIN"")

Would it be this?

Not sure if I had it 11+ years ago... but I'll attempt to image it ASAP
(Might've found it quicker had it been in "Archive Requests"

I was wondering if anyone could help me locate a game, I think, called Mapventure. I have no idea who made it and haven't found any trace of it so far on the net. It was written by Simon Hosler and published by Sherston Software, in 1988. I've attached the DFS version. The files are still "hid...

Didn't see this the first time around... thought "Wilt" sounded familiar, so I just checked and found the A4 folder containing this disk.

Will image it ASAP, subject to it being readable! (although Longman disks are usually reliable)

billcarr2005

I imaged this disk in July 2015, within a box of many others on loan from Arcadian... I think it would've been one that I returned.
It contains sample spreadsheets for Grasshopper (presumably!)

TLDR version: When I created the first FSD, of EXILE, way back in November 2012, I was able to "piggy back" on the SSD code of BeebEM because all that was missing, or rather implemented with automatic values added, was the ability to specify the sector IDs. Having the extra 4 bytes of the ...

From track &16 onwards - part way into SLIDERS, then all of TRAINS, CUBES and SHUNT (Shape Hunt) are filled with E5, ie. formatted sectors containing no program data!

This might be beyond the scope of your document, but I am struggling to understand how a disc works and how much of that is replicated in a disc image. Somewhat related to your query, here are the details from a single track from the Tynesoft game "The Big KO"... using Acorn 1770 DFS, I r...
