Do we have a utility to convert a bootable, OS9 Level two, floppy disk to a
DSK file?
This utility should run on a REAL CC3?
I would imagine it would need to be written for only a 512K machine so the
file could be saved to another disk(if you only have a single disk system).
My main coco is a 6809, 512K CC3 with 3.5, 5.25 floppy drives and a SCSI
drive. So, I have room to do lot's of stuff with it. I have ramdrives also.
However, I can't find any way to share some of my stuff, because I can't
find a utility to run on a Coco that will create a DSK file of a bootable
floppy.
This XP box I am talking on now won't work with a coco disk. I have a
working communication with one of the coco's com ports. If I could make a
DSK file of a coco floppy (on my coco), I could transfer it to this XP box
and share it.
I do not use nitros9. I have all the latest, greatest old patches to fix
bugs(I think), but it's basically stock OS9 L2 on a stock machine.
Any suggestions?
