Can an Amiga write MS-DOS disks from an image?

[rkauer]

 I personally don't care about M$ (those Bills outside can kill each other and we'll have a better world, IMHO).

 Back to the question: in what format the image is?

 A good trick: mount a RAD: device, with the geometry of a regular M$ floppy and cast the image in there, if you have a standard (to Amiga) format.

 .img is not a valid format to Amiga, I have to say.

 .exe or .com too...

 But if the image is in ISO format, go for it! Use mountISO (or ISOmount, don't remember now) from aminet.

@motorollin:

To write a PC image to floppy disk, just mount PC0 (or something similar using Fat95) and use any disk image tool (for example TSGUI) to write the image to PC0.

But why do you want to waste a floppy disk ? PC-Task happily boots from a mounted disk image. Either create a PC4 mount list with CrossDOS or Fat95 and diskimage.device, or use FILE0 from the XFS package, then use PC4 or FILE0 as drive A in PC-Task.

This also has the advantage that you can use 1.4 MB disk images without owning a HD floppy drive.

Bye,

Thanks Thomas. I will try your suggestions once I have located my copy of PC-Task.
