Then you'd use a command like DiskCopy FROM PC0: TO PC1:īut if you're using the normal/usual CrossDOS mount file for PC1: which has BlocksPerTrack=9, DiskCopy will refuse to do that because the geometries of source and dest won't match (even if the disk in DF1: is completely blank/unrecorded).īy changing my PC1 mount file to have BlocksPerTrack=10 I managed to get DiskCopy to work. Say you want to copy an 800KB disk from DF0: to DF1.If the 800KB disk were to contain (say) all zero bytes it wouldn't automatically detect the format. Even if your PC0 mount file has BlocksPerTrack=9 as for normal 720KB disks, CrossDOS can automatically detect the 800KB disk format, providing there is a DOS BPB(?) on the disk. ![]() It may be that CT raw format doesn't support HD disks, hence why I couldn't (yet) get the 1600K one working in WinUAE. Also some old SNES game copiers could format disks to 1600KB. Again fdformat should be able to create such disks. 68020+ Amiga will work for the CT raw tool, or SuperCard Pro or Kryoflux.Īn image of a 1600KB high density disk would be nice to have too. Have suitable hardware to create a low-level image of the disk. (Same name as the MS-DOS program but unrelated apart from performing a similar function.) fdformat under MS-DOS to format a disk to 800KB, then image it. Have access to an old PC with real/native floppy drive or an Atari ST ![]() There are programs like TOSDUMP. However, if you have an original Atari ST, you can make an image file from its TOS ROMs. The program is able to generate blank Macintosh hard disk images for use with. But since TOS is still copyrighted, we can not put such an image file here (and please dont ask us to mail you any TOS images). Disk Image Creation Utilities is a small software application that helps you create blank disk image files. The image file needs to be low-level and usable in WinUAE, so SuperCard. Hatari also needs a TOS image file for running. ![]() That would have 10 sectors/track instead of the normal 9 which a 720KB disk has. I'd like to obtain an image file of an 800KB-format PC/DOS disk. I'm doing some testing of mfm.device (from CrossDOS) with different disk formats. ![]()
