Re: [M100] PCSG/Holmes Chipmunk Utility Disk or Image?

[Greg Swallow]

Josh/Brian, While figuring the move of the P4 so I could un-case and attach the Chipmunk drive to the P4 floppy controller, another option came to mind. The M100 with the Chipmunk also has a ROM Bank w/ Disk+ (2.1) and SuperROM. So, maybe I can: 1. Copy from Disk+ server to Chipmunk or 2. Copy from Disk+ server to M100, then M100 to Chipmunk. Disk+ is accessable from CDOS menu. To do this I need to know the contents of a PCSG Utility disk so I can download from GitHub the pieces/parts; unsure if everthing is there. The manual should help with what I need as it explains each file/function. Prefer the physical book as my PDF "reader" is a re-purposed 6-inch Lenovo/HedgeMedical tablet and a is bit difficult to read anymore. At least until I have cataract surgery. Brian, if you need to dig out old computers and setup a system for this task, then maybe send the manual sans disks and let Josh handle the disks. I do appreciate the help, but it's a awful lot to ask. As for my attempting the Disk+ to CDOS, do we have a way to mount the diskett image files?

(I was using the drive with a FluxEngine) But I do have some machines in storage that should work, unless they're all dead from bad caps by now, so I figured I might as well see if I can make the disks and toss them in since I probably have everything needed.
