I would like to set up an image of a CD in a hard disk file.
I understand that makeiso.exe does this in UNIX. Does
anyone have an executable version for Windows 98?
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine

I was just told that the name of the program is "mkisofs"
in a Linux (or is that UNIX?). I want to be able to set
up the file structure with "dummy" files every 65536 blocks
so I can use the same files under both the iso file structure
and the RT-11 file structure.

On the other hand, any of the bundled freebie CD burning programs
that come with $60 CD-R drives these days (such as Roxio Easy CD
Creator and Nero Burning ROM) will easily create an .ISO file for you

Although I have experience with true CD mastering back in
the days before CD-R, and the early days of CD-R, I don't
know enough about the .ISO file format to know whether
you'll be able to just dump 64K of blocks into a spot
in the .ISO in order to set those file systems. You've
figured that out already?

X-CD-Roast is a great GUI frontend for mkisofs and the rest of cdrtools.
I just installed the latest versions of both, from source, in about 10
min. Not that mkisofs is hard to use to start with.
You would have to patch it somehow to do the block allocation that way,
though, I think.

Ack, left out a relevant bit. X-CD-Roast as of the 0.98alpha dev.
series, is written in C for GTK, so it should be possible, in principle,
to get it running with Gnome/GTK on Windows. I have not tried it, though.

Mkisofs is availabla as part of the cygwin tools, but IIUC, will not
do what you need. It simply builds an ISO filesystem of a list of files
or a directory tree. It doesn't attempt to duplicate the file_system_
at all, ie block placement.
You need a tool that reads at the raw-device level, not at the level
of directories or files. Both cat and dd, used properly, can do that in
Unix, but I'm not at all sure that the Windows-based cat & dd can even
_see_ a raw device. If you're working with Erstz-11 container files,
There might be a way to fiddle it.
Something like Ghost or Drive Image might be a better solution, but I
don't know if either will attempt an unrecognized filesystem, and
neither is particularly cheap.

Now that I think about it, I remember posting in a thread here
several months ago in a conversation with Mr. Fine that
we'd determined that right-clicking on a file in Nero (?)
gave you an option to set a file priority low-medium-high
which in fact did place the files nearer to the start of
the disc.

New subject: Odd Quasar HHC-type handheld / What is it? :)
Hi everyone! :)
I've come into possession of a Quasar Information
Processor, touting a model number of HC2000A. It's a
small device, say 4"x6" or so... It is designed much
like the Panasonic / Quasar HHC RL-H1x00 (ca. 1983)
computer series, just is not quite as large. It also
has the same ROM 'capsule' type setup as the rest of
the HHC series. Beyond that, it becomes a lot
different. It has 3 'ROM' capsules - English 1,
Spanish 1, and Italian 1, in capsule positions L1, L2,
and L3. It has a 1x16 char. blue VFD-type display. It
has a small chicklet keyboard, with the letters
arranged alphabetically. There are four keys on the
left hand side labelled L1 through L4. There's a SHFT
button, an EXT button, a PHR button, a LRN button, an
F/S button, a ROT button, a SCH button, a HLD button,
a C/E button, and, finally, a CLR button. Judging from
the above, it seems like it might've been some sort of
translation device (?) type thing made to accompany
the HHC series. Alas, I've not been able to figure out
how it works as of yet. It functions; I am just not
sure as to what is needed for input.
I've searched, but can't seem to find any reference to
it anywhere. If anyone has any info about it or how to
use it, I'd be much obliged if you might be able to
toss it this way.
Thanks! :)
Andy

There's a DOS module in the CD2CD package that's been around since the early
'90's that does this. That's how they copied CD's back then.
Why does it have to work with WIndows98? Isn't DOS adequate?
