Rich,:
Well I currently have a Super Gold Card and some ED disk drives....
But how can I create a disk image of an ED disk and get it onto the PC ?
Anyone ?
Off the top of my head
Open device
Open output file
Initialise sector to be read to first sector
repeat loop
read one sector
write to output file
increment sector to be read
end loop
close output file
close input device
Now, it is possible that the reading of the next sector might cause
problems when it's a double sided floppy. But you never know?
I'm not sure exactly how "dd" on Linux reads a floppy - it seems to know
to read both sides and happily creates the image.
Once you have the image on your QL, zip it up and whizz it over the
wherever you want it to be and test it?
Cheers,
Norm.
