So I began to learn to read in Kindergarden. This is something I was told would come in handy in my later years...
Well they were wrong. :/
I downloaded DiskImage. Put the DosDevices where they should go, DiskImage.device in Devs, Diskimagectrl in C: along with the diskimage creation tool.
I mount device DI0:.
Load Diskimagectrl GUI. It sees DI0:
I then try to load an ADF and...
Drum roll please!!!
Nothing happens! Neat Hugh?
So what could I possibly be missing that I'm not seeing in the docs?
Thanks in advance.
-
perhaps snoopdos can help you.
btw, are you sure .adf is in AmigaDOS format?
-
The ADF might be :
1. Not a dos disk
2. High density disk?!
Make sure the Devs/DOSDrivers/IDF0 has the following tooltypes in the .info file
ACTIVATE=1
DEVICE=diskimage.device
UNIT=0
-
Everything checks out fine in the icon info.
A small update. I inistalled OS 3.5 and now I can see the device after it has been mounted and an ADF has been assigned to it (or how ever you phrase that).
The thing is that it shows up on the desktop as:
DI0: Uninitialized
There is no Icon Info to be selected.
If I try to format it says that the drive has a 95Mb Capacity, but...
When I try to actually format it either says:
Disk not Validated
or
Seek Fail

It looks like you have installed DiskImage by Thore Boeckelmann.
You should instead install DiskImage by Fredrik Wikstrom (http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/diskimage.m68k-aos) which is much better, regulary updated, and very different from the other one. You can use it with DiskImage GUI. This one is not supposed to work on 3.0/3.1 (need Reaction) but it will if you install Classact up to the latest Classact 3.3 demo.
-
Sounds promising, thanks!
-
Bingo!!!
Note this did not work with OS 3.5 or 3.9 as it caused the system to crash and reboot, but it seems good so far on 3.1. Thank you!!!
-
Great :-) It is installed on every of my amiga to avoid using real floppies for DOS disks and to remove the need of a CDROM reader.
-
Thankx a ton! Now I may have more questions coming in regards to mounting the various image formats, but I've not gotten that far yet.

Just use DiskImageGUI to mount/unmount with a mouse click.
You will need:
- ClassAct/ReAction (DiskImageGUI) - http://aminet.net/dev/gui/classact33.lha
- screennotify.library (DiskImageGUI) - http://aminet.net/util/libs/ScreenNotify10.lha
- titlebar.image (DiskImageGUI) - http://aminet.net/dev/gui/titlebar_ic.lha
- AISS >= 4.8 (DiskImageGUI) - http://masonicons.info/

No special configuration needed Hugh? Good to know!

I'm baaaack!!!!
Question 1: How in the world do I mount HDF images? So far this does not work no matter which device I assign it to.
Question 2: How to I prevent long file names on ISO's from being cut off?
I think the answer to this may be the same solution to prevent long file names from being cut off on CF cards, and Piru answered this once, but I can't find that thread.

For 1, on a previous version, it required to edit the mountlist of IDF0:, modify "BlocksPerTrack = 11" (put 2048) and "HighCyl = 79" ( put 99999), then save the newmountlist as HDF0: Rename also the .info file.
However i'm not using HDF files myself, and this may have evolved in the latest version. Read the manual.
For 2, don't know, this may depend of the filesystem you are using and not DiskImage.

That's right, I remember reading that adjustments were needed to make HDF's work. I'll have to go through the docs again.
As for my FileSystem I am using PFS.

Perhaps it's the CD Filesystem that matters when mounting and reading an ISO. The one which comes with Workbench 3.1 is pretty bad, if you haven't already installed a better CD/DVD filesystem then I recommend AmiCDFS http://aminet.net/package/disk/cdrom/amicdfs240

I am getting ready to setup something like this. I normally use AsimCDFS since I own a legal copy. Do you know if this works OK?
-
I have never used AsimCDFS but it should be fine if you own a copy. I don't know if it supports DVDs, but AmiCDFS does, and it's free which is why I use it.
