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.

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/

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.
