| 1008 | 14 USING THE DISK IMAGES |
| 15 ===================== | |
| 16 If you wish to transfer the disk images to a 5.25" floppy disk for use | |
| 17 with a real CoCo, follow the steps below: | |
| 881 | 18 |
| 1008 | 19 WINDOWS/DOS: |
| 20 | |
| 21 1. Download and install the latest version of DSKINI/RETRIEVE as modified | |
| 1436 | 22 by John Collyer at http://users.zoominternet.net/~johncollyer/m6309.htm |
| 1008 | 23 |
| 24 2. Insert a blank 5.25" DS floppy in to your drive (we assume B:) | |
| 881 | 25 |
| 1008 | 26 3. Type the following command, replacing the name of the image: |
| 27 | |
| 28 DSKINI /T40 /D B: <diskimagefile> | |
| 29 | |
| 30 Where <diskimagefile> is the image file you want to transfer to the | |
| 31 floppy disk. The image file transfer should start. When it is done, | |
| 32 take out the disk and try booting your CoCo with it. | |
| 33 | |
| 34 Repeat steps 2-3 for each additional disk. | |
| 881 | 35 |
| 36 | |
| 1008 | 37 LINUX: |
| 38 | |
| 39 1. Download and install the latest version of fdutils from | |
| 40 http://fdutils.linux.lu/ | |
| 881 | 41 |
| 1008 | 42 2. Once installed, edit the /usr/local/etc/mediaprm file and add the |
| 43 following lines at the end of the file: | |
| 44 | |
| 45 "COCO360": | |
| 46 DS DD sect=18 cyl=40 ssize=256 tpi=48 fm=0 gap=8 | |
| 47 | |
| 48 3. Insert your blank floppy into the drive on your Linux box. | |
| 49 | |
| 50 4. Type the following command: | |
| 881 | 51 |
| 1008 | 52 setfdprm /dev/fd1 coco360 (360K 5.25" floppy disk) |
| 53 | |
| 54 This assumes your floppy drive is /dev/fd1. You may need to make | |
| 55 adjustments to the above commands for your environment. | |
| 56 | |
| 57 5. After typing the setfdprm command, the floppy drive unit should spin | |
| 58 for a second then stop. Type this command: | |
| 881 | 59 |
| 1008 | 60 dd if=<diskimagefile> of=/dev/fd1 |
| 881 | 61 |
| 1008 | 62 Where <diskimagefile> is the image file you want to transfer to the |
| 63 floppy disk. The image file transfer should start. When it is done, | |
| 64 take out the disk and try booting your CoCo with it. | |
| 65 | |
| 66 Repeat steps 3-5 for each additional disk. | |
