Just an FYI :
I've posted a minor ImageDisk update to my site (It's been
a while!)
Nothing major:
- Added IMDA (ImageDisk Analyze) utility to examine a .IMD
image and suggest drive types and settings that can be used
to write it (a lot of people seem to have trouble with this)
- Added a couple of batch file to automate presetting a .IMD
comment from a text file, and extracting/editing/replacing
the .IMD comment.
- Enhance DMK2IMD to detect and provide a work-around for
images with bad address marks apparently produced by
some emulators.
- Update .IMD file format specification to provide for
representing disks with non-standard sector sizes or
mixed sector sizes within a track.
- Minor documentation and help files updates.
I've also posted a raw binary floppy image (suitable for
XDISK, Winimage etc.) to create a 1.44M bootable
ImageDisk floppy that:
- Has USB mass-storage and CD/CVD support.
- Allows you to set a RAMdisk size when it boots, and
runs from the RAMdisk after boot - so you can boot
from a floppy and then read/write images to and from
the RAMdisk (and USB mass storage).
- Has tools to move files to/from the RAMdisk via:
Network** (FTP, TFTP, DDLINK)
Serial or LPT (DDLINK, XMODEM)
**Over 100 network drivers are on the disk.
- Can be used for a bootable CD/DVD.
This might be useful to anyone who doesn't want to
dedicate a DOS partition.
