|
|
|
12 =====================

13 If you wish to transfer the disk images to a 5.25" floppy disk for use
|
|
|
14 with a real CoCo, follow the steps below:
|
|
881
|
15
|
|
1008
|
16 WINDOWS/DOS:
|
|
|
17
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
21 2. Insert a blank 5.25" DS floppy in to your drive (we assume B:)
|
|
881
|
22
|
|
1008
|
23 3. Type the following command, replacing the name of the image:
|
|
|
24
|
|
|
25 DSKINI /T40 /D B: <diskimagefile>
|
|
|
26
|
|
|
27 Where <diskimagefile> is the image file you want to transfer to the
|
|
|
28 floppy disk. The image file transfer should start. When it is done,
|
|
|
29 take out the disk and try booting your CoCo with it.
|
|
|
30
|
|
|
31 Repeat steps 2-3 for each additional disk.
|

|
33
|
|
1008
|
34 LINUX:
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 1. Download and install the latest version of fdutils from
|
|
|
37 http://fdutils.linux.lu/
|
|
881
|
38
|
|
1008
|
39 2. Once installed, edit the /usr/local/etc/mediaprm file and add the
|
|
|
40 following lines at the end of the file:
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
42 "COCO360":
|
|
|
43 DS DD sect=18 cyl=40 ssize=256 tpi=48 fm=0 gap=8
|
|
|
44
|
|
|
45 3. Insert your blank floppy into the drive on your Linux box.
|
|
|
46
|
|
|
47 4. Type the following command:
|
|
881
|
48
|
|
1008
|
49 setfdprm /dev/fd1 coco360 (360K 5.25" floppy disk)
|
|
|
50
|
|
|
51 This assumes your floppy drive is /dev/fd1. You may need to make
|
|
|
52 adjustments to the above commands for your environment.
|
|
|
53
|
|
|
54 5. After typing the setfdprm command, the floppy drive unit should spin
|
|
|
55 for a second then stop. Type this command:
|
|
881
|
56
|
|
1008
|
57 dd if=<diskimagefile> of=/dev/fd1
|
|
881
|
58
|
|
1008
|
59 Where <diskimagefile> is the image file you want to transfer to the
|
|
|
60 floppy disk. The image file transfer should start. When it is done,
|
|
|
61 take out the disk and try booting your CoCo with it.
|
|
|
62
|
|
|
63 Repeat steps 3-5 for each additional disk.
