Thanks to Dave Dunfield you can now create your own disks
using Image Disk.
You have to have version 1.11 of Imagedisk to write these to
5.25" HD media.

Here I go replying to my own email again. And before anyone asks, I talk to
myself too.
Based on a couple of received emails, there seems to be some confusion here.
My email was not announcing ImageDisk. I was announcing that the images of
the Tandy Xenix disk I recently posted in catweasel/.dmk format are now
available in ImageDisk's .imd format.
Don't care how anyone feels about either tool, they're what I had to use.
One format (imagedisk) is available to anyone on a limited budget, with
minimal investment. I got mine running from parts pulled from my board
storage. I actualy found two floppy controllers in my stash that could
handle FM/MFM mixed formats.
The other (catweasel) requires special hardware, but works well to.
If there are other ways to make these images and other formats to store them
in, let me know. I'll try to gather what I need to create them too wherever
possible, although I don't think I could possibly install another floppy in
the machine I created for making these images. Right now it has 8 floppy
drives in various configurations.
Watch the
catcorner.org site. I also plan to image the other various Tandy
model II/12/16/6000 disks I have.
Here is a partial list of the software I have for these systems:
Cobol, Fortran, Basic (and Xenix mBasic)
4 different versions of Xenix
2 versions of the development system
a couple of CP/Ms
TRS-DOS II, 4.2 and 16.
Scripsit, Scripsit 2.0, Scripsit 16
Multiplan, VisiCalc, Informix, Unify
the list goes on...
I have ProFile, filePro and filePro 16+, but I probably won't make images of
that since they're still around. At least not until I get permission.
Let me know if there is anything in the list anyone needs.
