I'm curently cheking out the capabilites of the DivMMC expansion and getting familiar with #ESXDOS

So right now I'm looking into how to create #zxspctrum .TRD #trdos disk image files on #Linux and in the process I've done a few, very little changes to the C code of "TRDtool" by Shiru so that it will compile on Linux using gcc instead of Windows (here's the original code for the Windows version:
https://github.com/alfishe/trdtool)

The adapted version is working quite well and along with "taput" which lets you read/write data to and from .TAP files (https://github.com/Sivvus/taput) I've now created a .TRD image file that contains the HiSoft DevPac Assembler and Disassembler.

This is all new to me, so I wonder:
did any of you use Betdisk controller and TR-DOS back in the day on the #Speccy?
