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:
- Copy disk images in XDF format to the directory where you unpacked the archive
- Insert 2HD floppy disk in drive 0 and execute !Format.bat
- Rename the file which you want to transfer to DISK.2HD (press “R” key in LHES to rename)
- 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:
- 0 - 2HS (9sec/trk 1440k)
- 1 - 2HD (8sec/trk 1232k) Standard X68000 format
- 2 - 2HDE (9sec/trk 1440k)
- 3 - 2HC (15sec/trk 1200k)
- 4 - 2HT (1599k)
- 5 - 2DD/9 (9sec/trk 720k)
- 6 - 2DD/8 (8sec/trk 640k)
- B - 2HQ (18sec/trk 1440k) IBM 1.44MB 2HD format
- Z - 2HDE98 (FDISK.SYS v0.98 compatible)
- 7 - Initialize FAT
- 8 - Initialize IPL
DPACK determines image file format by the following file extensions:
.2HD .HDM .2HE .2HDE .2HC .HD5 .2HQ .HD4 .2HS .2HT .2DD .2DD8 .DD8 .DD6 .2DD9 .DD9 .2DD10 .DDA .2D .2D8 .2D9
