- I have access to ftp-os2 at the office
- on a Sparc 1+. It seemed silly to have to
- transport the SPG3??.ZIP files home to
- process them. Snooping with Xdf showed
- that after unziping with UNZIP50, the
- .DSK files has a label of sorts that was
- 41 bytes long before the actual disk image.
- So here's how to do it on a Sparc:
-
- (FIRST DELETE THE LEADING 41 bytes)
- "dd if=spg301.dsk of=spg301.dsk.new bs=41 skip=1"
- This takes awhile to complete.
-
- (SECOND, COPY ONTO HD FLOPPY)
- Then put a formatted HD disk in the floppy drive and
- "dd if=spg301.dsk.new of=/dev/rfd0c bs=9k"
- This also takes a bit of time.
-
- I set up a batch file to do it and prompts to
- stick in the disks, etc. One quibble: this produced
- disks that I can access on the sparc using mtools.
- I assume that they will work for the CSD inst:
