PC Emulator, help needed...

[ricco32097]

Hi, I need some help. Could someone please make an .adf file with a freeware DOS compatible boot system? In PC-Task, the program asks for a boot disk, but I don't own a floppy drive any more. So I am not sure how to create one.
I really would appreciate it. I am quite sure others could use such an .adf file too.

I asked the same question a while back.  The consensus seemed to be that you can't make a bootable DOS disk as an .ADF for emulator (or other) system use.

Really?...bummer.

IIRC certain versions of DMS could read/write PC formatted diskettes, but I don't know how would you mount them.

To create a bootable PC DOS disk, just find a PC (preferably Win 98/ME/2000), put a DD floppy in, click on start, go into settings, the command window, click on add/remove programs, and choose create startup disk.

That will work fine with your PCTask.

Couldn't someone just create a harddisk-image?

[ricco32097]

Yes, that would be awesome. Anyone?

so pirating MSDOS now is OK, eh?

I did say freeware DOS...like FreeDOS

Hej,
it's possible.
I tried out last year. Got some help from Forum Amiga-News.
I'll send you some ADF's for PeeCee-Emu, if you give me adress for sending.
Regards
