[Coco] Fwd: Re: Using Toolshed

[Ed Orbea]

Phil:


You need to read the Toolshed documentation!

The command line options are:

Syntax: format {[<opts>]} <disk> {[<...>]} {[<opts>]}
Usage:  Create a disk image of a given size.
Options:
      -bsX = bytes per sector (default = 256)
      -cX  = cluster size
      -e   = format entire disk (make full sized image)
      -k   = make OS-9/68K LSN0
      -nX  = disk name
      -q   = quiet; do not report format summary
  Floppy Options:
      -4   = 48 tpi (default)
      -9   = 96 tpi
      -sa  = sector allocation size (SAS)
      -sd  = single density
      -dd  = double density (default)
      -ss  = single sided (default)
      -ds  = double sided
      -tX  = tracks (default = 35)
      -stX = sectors per track (default = 18)
      -dr  = format a Dragon disk
  Hard Drive Options:
      -lX  = number of logical sectors

So, your command line option SHOULD BE: os9 format -e -t80 -ds "Phil.dsk"

This will create a formatted, Double Sided, 80 Track floppy disk image 
with the file name of Phil.dsk
