SINTRAN III PATCH media — inventory

Full path: E:\Dev\Ronny\NDInsight\tools\boot-floppy\patches\inventory.md

Every patch floppy image found on this machine, extracted with

E:\Dev\Ronny\norskdata-ndfs\ndfs-c\build-win\ndtool.exe -t <image>
E:\Dev\Ronny\norskdata-ndfs\ndfs-c\build-win\ndtool.exe -x -p -o <dir> <image>

-p is correct HERE and nowhere else in this tree. Patch floppies hold .PATC text with even parity, so stripping bit 7 is what you want. Never copy this line to an image containing :BPUN or :DATA — -p strips the top bit of every byte and silently corrupts binaries. See DISC-BOOTSTRAP.md line 273. (DOC-AUDIT.md line 53.)

All listings and dates below are VERIFIED — copied from ndtool -t output. 33CPV values are VERIFIED — read from each floppy's SYMBOLS:FADM. Record counts / report ranges are VERIFIED — produced by tools/parse_patch.py --summary.

Note on naming: the task brief called D:\ND\S\nddisk5.img "vol PATCH-FILE-G". Its volume label is actually PATCH-SINTRAN; PATCH-FILE-G:MODE is a file on it. Its patch level is 33CPV=002204.

The two images in Sintran III J Patch 11100\ are byte-identical in every extracted file (MD5-verified).

1984-01-06 16:43:51  (SYSTEM)PATCH-FILE:OUT;1             36903 bytes   19 pages

PATCH-FILE:OUT is a log of an actual patch run on 1984-01-06 — six months after the floppy was written. It is the single best evidence document on the media: it shows the FMAC IMAGE-FILE : prompt, the 33CPV:000017 banner, the DEFINE-SEGMENT-FILE, and the READ-BINARY DMAC-1915E 7 RT-loader step.

H-223 — PATCH-SINTRAN, 33CPV=000223

H-2204 — PATCH-SINTRAN, 33CPV=002204 (D:\ND\S\nddisk5.img)

1984-03-25 16:05:32  (SYSTEM)FILE-TEST-H:PROG;1           18432 bytes    9 pages
1984-03-25 16:05:45  (SYSTEM)CPU-TYPE:PROG;1             133120 bytes    2 pages

(not set)            (SYSTEM)PATCH-FILE:OUT;1              2038 bytes    1 pages

FILE-TEST-H:PROG, CPU-TYPE:PROG and PATCH-FILE-G:MODE are byte-identical to H-223's copies (MD5). Only PATCH-FILE:PATC, REFERENCE:FADM and SYMBOLS:FADM differ — this is H-223 rolled forward by three reports.

J-10300 — ND-PATCH-SIN-J, 33CPV=010300

1986-05-14 20:51:29  (SYSTEM)MULTI-FUNCTION:PROG;1        36864 bytes   18 pages
1986-05-14 20:52:00  (SYSTEM)START-PATCH-FILE:MODE;1       4193 bytes    3 pages
1986-05-14 20:52:16  (SYSTEM)PATCH-FILE:MODE;1             3677 bytes    2 pages
1986-05-14 20:52:23  (SYSTEM)PATCHES:PATC;1              214193 bytes  105 pages
1986-05-14 20:55:05  (SYSTEM)REFERENCE:FADM;1              4998 bytes    3 pages
1986-05-14 20:55:17  (SYSTEM)SYMBOLS:FADM;1                  33 bytes    1 pages

SYMBOLS:FADM here carries two definitions — 33WMR=000001 as well as 33CPV=010300. J-11100/11110 dropped 33WMR.

J-11100 / J-11110 — ND-PATCH-SIN-J

Both floppies carry an identical directory (all file dates 1986-10-23):

1986-10-23 10:55:22  (SYSTEM)MULTI-FUNCTION:PROG;1        36864 bytes   18 pages
1986-10-23 10:58:13  (SYSTEM)START-PATCH-FILE:MODE;1       4193 bytes    3 pages
1986-10-23 10:52:14  (SYSTEM)PATCH-FILE:MODE;1             3677 bytes    2 pages
1986-10-23 10:23:10  (SYSTEM)PATCHES:PATC;1              232179 bytes  115 pages
1986-10-23 10:26:18  (SYSTEM)REFERENCE:FADM;1              5357 bytes    3 pages
1986-10-23 10:26:46  (SYSTEM)SYMBOLS:FADM;1                  23 bytes    1 pages

MD5 comparison shows only PATCHES:PATC and SYMBOLS:FADM differ between the two levels. The PATCHES:PATC difference is four lines (see README §5) — report SIN-J 315 revised C → D. The file dates were not updated for the 11110 release; the floppy label date (87.08.13) is the only date evidence.

K-10200 — ND-PATCH-SIN-K, 33CPV=010200 (D:\ND\S\N-250306K05-patch.img)

1988-06-07 16:08:28  (SYSTEM)PATCH-FILE:MODE;1             3144 bytes    2 pages

This is the patch set that matches the carved K-VSX-500 system (REVLE = 010200). See README §6.

Patch identifiers carried

VERIFIED. Each patch record carries SIN-<family> <report-number> [<revision-letter>]. There is no date on an individual patch record in any of the nine files; the only dates are the file timestamps above and the floppy labels.

Reports that changed revision letter between the sets we hold (useful as fingerprints):

Step	report → revision change
H-17 → H-223	3 C→D, 6 C→D, 74 –→B, 83 –→B, 84 B→C, 105 C→E, 127 B→C, 130 –→B, 140 –→B, 142 B→G
H-223 → H-2204	none
J-10300 → J-11100	34 D→E, 180 B→C, 208 B→D, 271 –→B, 273 –→B, 279 D→E
J-11100 → J-11110	315 C→D (the entire release)
K-10200 → K-011411	61 B→C, 160 D→G, 162 I→J, 164 A→C, 254 B→C, 271 –→B, 318 –→B, 328 –→B

Reports withdrawn (present in the earlier set, absent from the later): H-17→H-223 removes 19, 94, 111; H-223→H-2204 removes 14. The J and K steps remove nothing.
