About PM_DUMMY.DAT

As the Jaguar's encryption-verification requires the CD to have at least 2 tracks plus the encryption-track and we only have HV.ABS which will be placed in the first track (the boot-track) we need a dummy file for the second track. An addtional requirement for processing the encryption-verification successfully is that the encryption-tool has created data for at least 3 blocks (a block is determined by partition-markers inside a track-file, if you haven't divided your file into several partitions the track is seen as only one block, MAKETRK places one partition-marker in the header of all tracks except the boot-track) as the verification chooses randomly 3 out of all available blocks to be checked.
With 1 block always checked in the first track, the second track in our minimal CD-layout needs to have at least 2 partitions.

Because the encryption-tool prefers partition-sizes of more than 128 KiloBytes our dummy file PM_DUMMY.DAT is built out of 131072 bytes with value $01 (just to make it obvious) for the first parttion, followed by a sequenze of 16 4byte-tags ("PM02") being the partion-markers for the 2nd Partion, followed by 131072 bytes with value $02 serving as the content of the 2nd partition.

The big advantage of the layout of this file is that it helps to reduce the time used for the verification process to its minimum, a CD with a <64KB-boottrack and this PM_DUMMY.DAT is booted within less than 5 seconds after powering up the Jaguar!
