(Tez was kind enough to send me an SU.DMK, but it was
unfortunately for a
DS diskette and my Mod 4 is not so equipped.)
Steve,
Are you sure you're not mistaken here? I'm positive that DMK image I sent
you is single sided. Matthew Reed's TRSTools tells me the disk is DMK and
the size is 180k, which would indicate a single sided double density 40
track disk? Also, my own machine has single sided drives and I'm sure this
is the image I used to make a real disk. Thirdly, CopyCat is for single
sided disks and this is what I used for the copying.
I remember more clearly how I made a real SU4 disk now. I used that image
I sent you, which as you would have noticed is not a self-booting disk, but
rather contains SU4 as a file.
I booted the Keil emulator with a CopyCat disk image I have. It's version
4.1 and says on the splash page it copies single sided diskettes (and I'm
assuming only single-sided diskettes). I then linked the SU4 DMK image to
drive 0 and put a real disk in drive 1 (which was mapped to a physical
drive). Pressed enter and the disk was copied.
I then could use this disk on the Model 4 by booting in a Model 4 DOS (e.g.
TRSDOS 6.1), inserting the SU4 disk in drive 1 and calling up the file.
My Model 4 is packed away so I just tried this procedure with Matthew
Reed's TRS32 emulator. Although it created another SU4 disk image rather
than a physical disk, everything worked as above.
I'm wondering if your issues might be related to the Linux-based software.
I'm not familiar with those TRS-80 emulators or tools at all.
Cheers
Terry (Tez)
P.S. if anyone else following this wants to see/check the SU image I have
in order to assist Steve with his puzzle it's here (for now)
