Thanks for this, I figured out another way which I'll post here. For some reason I had the following lines in my arcemrc for which I have no memory :) MFM disc 1 612 4 32 256 I took a guess this was related to the initial Arcem package I'd installed years ago and downloaded the 20MB ext2 image from Dave Gilberts page ftp://ftp.arm.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/arcem/ I then took a hform ADF from the Arculator site and renamed the ADF FloppyImage0 (incidentally does anyone know why the default names for floppies go 0-3 and ST506 drives go 1-4) http://b-em.bbcmicro.com/arculator/download.html Then ran HForm on disc 4 and picked the first option off the list 20Mb Miniscribe 8425 There were some warnings about out of range cylinders, this is probably becase the known shape of a Miniscribe disc is different to the shape described in the MFM Disc config line above. Seemed to work though.
