In the meantime, do you know where I can find a dmk
image of SU4? Tim
Mann's jv2dmk utility refuses to convert it, telling me the track is too
long.
I think I can help Steve. I'll send you a message off list.

It's been a while and I can't remember the details of each individual

out
to a floppy.
It will take me a while to put the hardware together for that. My
diskette RW system uses a Compaticard IV, which appears as a secondary
controller. I doubt the Keil emulator will be able to talk to it, so I
need to get in the box and rearrange cables.
In the interim, I tried CopyCat on xtrs (Linux). It reads the SU4 image
without a problem, but hangs trying to write to the floppy.
Next up, I took a DMK image of SuperUtility (older version) and tried to
convert it to IMD format. DMK2IMD refuses, telling me that the PC diskette
controller is incapable of mixing sector sizes on the same track.
I can probably write it using my Catweasel, but that's also an adventure
to setup. Probably have to wait for the weekend. In the meantime, do you

This looks to be quite a pitched battle! The way su4 was mentioned in the
docs for the FreHD, I had the impression this was a very common tool - not
so much it seems.
