|
|
|
14 =====================
|
|
1005
|
15 If you wish to transfer the disk images to a 5.25" floppy disk for use
|
|
|
16 with a real CoCo, follow the steps below:
|
|
|
17
|
|
|
18 WINDOWS/DOS:
|
|
|
19
|
|
|
20 1. Download and install the latest version of DSKINI/RETRIEVE as modified
|
|
|
21 by John Collyer at http://www.angelfire.com/oh5/johncollyer/coco/m6309.htm
|
|
|
22
|
|
|
23 2. Insert a blank 5.25" DS floppy in to your drive (we assume B:)
|
|
742
|
24
|
|
1005
|
25 3. Type the following command, replacing the name of the image:
|
|
|
26
|
|
|
27 DSKINI /T40 /D B: <diskimagefile>
|
|
|
28
|
|
|
29 Where <diskimagefile> is the image file you want to transfer to the
|
|
|
30 floppy disk. The image file transfer should start. When it is done,
|
|
|
31 take out the disk and try booting your CoCo with it.
|
|
|
32
|
|
|
33 Repeat steps 2-3 for each additional disk.
|
|
|
34
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 LINUX:
|
|
739
|
37
|
|
|
38 1. Download and install the latest version of fdutils from
|
|
|
39 http://fdutils.linux.lu/
|
|
|
40
|
|
|
41 2. Once installed, edit the /usr/local/etc/mediaprm file and add the
|
|
|
42 following lines at the end of the file:
|
|
|
43
|
|
|
44 "COCO360":
|
|
|
45 DS DD sect=18 cyl=40 ssize=256 tpi=48 fm=0 gap=8
|
|
|
46
|
|
|
47 3. Insert your blank floppy into the drive on your Linux box.
|
|
|
48
|
|
|
49 4. Type the following command:
|
|
|
50
|
|
|
51 setfdprm /dev/fd1 coco360 (360K 5.25" floppy disk)
|
|
|
52
|
|
|
53 This assumes your floppy drive is /dev/fd1. You may need to make
|
|
|
54 adjustments to the above commands for your environment.
|
|
|
55
|
|
|
56 5. After typing the setfdprm command, the floppy drive unit should spin
|
|
|
57 for a second then stop. Type this command:
|
|
|
58
|
|
|
59 dd if=<diskimagefile> of=/dev/fd1
|
|
|
60
|
|
|
61 Where <diskimagefile> is the image file you want to transfer to the
|
|
|
62 floppy disk. The image file transfer should start. When it is done,
|
|
|
63 take out the disk and try booting your CoCo with it.
|
|
|
64
|
|
|
65 Repeat steps 3-5 for each additional disk.
