12 USING THE DISK IMAGES
|
|
|
13 =====================
|
|
1005
|
14 If you wish to transfer the disk images to a 5.25" floppy disk for use
|
|
|
15 with a real CoCo, follow the steps below:
|
|
|
16
|
|
|
17 WINDOWS/DOS:
|
|
|
18
|
|
|
19 1. Download and install the latest version of DSKINI/RETRIEVE as modified
|
|
|
20 by John Collyer at http://www.angelfire.com/oh5/johncollyer/coco/m6309.htm
|
|
|
21
|
|
|
22 2. Insert a blank 5.25" DS floppy in to your drive (we assume B:)
|
|
742
|
23
|
|
1005
|
24 3. Type the following command, replacing the name of the image:
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
26 DSKINI /T40 /D B: <diskimagefile>
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
28 Where <diskimagefile> is the image file you want to transfer to the
|
|
|
29 floppy disk. The image file transfer should start. When it is done,
|
|
|
30 take out the disk and try booting your CoCo with it.
|
|
|
31
|
|
|
32 Repeat steps 2-3 for each additional disk.
|
|
|
33
|
|
|
34
|
|
|
35 LINUX:
|
|
739
|
36
|
|
|
37 1. Download and install the latest version of fdutils from
|
|
|
38 http://fdutils.linux.lu/
|
|
|
39
|
|
|
40 2. Once installed, edit the /usr/local/etc/mediaprm file and add the
|
|
|
41 following lines at the end of the file:
|
|
|
42
|
|
|
43 "COCO360":
|
|
|
44 DS DD sect=18 cyl=40 ssize=256 tpi=48 fm=0 gap=8
|
|
|
45
|
|
|
46 3. Insert your blank floppy into the drive on your Linux box.
|
|
|
47
|
|
|
48 4. Type the following command:
|
|
|
49
|
|
|
50 setfdprm /dev/fd1 coco360 (360K 5.25" floppy disk)
|
|
|
51
|
|
|
52 This assumes your floppy drive is /dev/fd1. You may need to make
|
|
|
53 adjustments to the above commands for your environment.
|
|
|
54
|
|
|
55 5. After typing the setfdprm command, the floppy drive unit should spin
|
|
|
56 for a second then stop. Type this command:
|
|
|
57
|
|
|
58 dd if=<diskimagefile> of=/dev/fd1
|
|
|
59
|
|
|
60 Where <diskimagefile> is the image file you want to transfer to the
|
|
|
61 floppy disk. The image file transfer should start. When it is done,
|
|
|
62 take out the disk and try booting your CoCo with it.
|
|
|
63
|
|
|
64 Repeat steps 3-5 for each additional disk.
