Writing Floppies from Disk Images on X68000

You will need a working hard drive setup, a way to transfer files to it and the following software:

  1. Copy disk images in XDF format to the directory where you unpacked the archive
  2. Insert 2HD floppy disk in drive 0 and execute !Format.bat
  3. Rename the file which you want to transfer to DISK.2HD (press “R” key in LHES to rename)
  4. Reinsert the floppy disk and execute !Write.bat

Note: You can use drive 1 to restore the image files. Just change the .bat files to the following:

!Format.bat

9SCDRV.X
9SCFMT.X /N1

!Write.bat

9SCDRV.X
DPACK.X -u1 DISK.2HD

9SCFMT allows you to use the following formats as well:
