Maybe this is the problem -- are you expecting E11 to create the file?
The MOUNT command is for attaching an emulated drive to an image file that
already exists, so you need a 262,144-byte file. You can create it with
PUTR on DOS (format test.dsk /tu58), or using "dd" if Linux, or actually
(this is a cheesy trick but works for small drives) with E11 itself with
something like:
E11>set cpu 44 (get a CPU type with 22-bit addressing)
E11>dump test.dsk 0:777777 (dump out 256 KB of core -- initially all
zeros)
On Windows XP etc. I use fsutil to create empty image files.
Example:
fsutil file createnew test.dsk 262144
