>Does anyone know how DOS generates serial-numbers for floppies?
|

|
|
Here are the details of the volume serial number:
|
|
|
|
The first part of the serial number is equal to the sum of the time
|
|
(seconds and hundredths of a second) and the date (month and day); The
|
|
second part of the serial number is equal to the sum of the time (hours
|
|
and minutes) and date (year), where all numbers are in hex. For
|
|
example, if the diskette is formatted at 8:32:43.65 on 7/21/1991, the
|
|
first part of the serial number will be 2B41+0715, or 3256; the second
|
|
part of the serial number will be 0820+07C7, or 0FE7.
|
|
|
|
Hope that this is of some help.
