How to overtake an "empty" TRD? — ZXNet «zxnet.pc»

From Wladimir Bulchukey To All 28 August 2004

Hello(s), All...! Realist's question for experienced emulators: how to transfer a real 3.5-inch TR DOS floppy disk to a trd image on a PC, on which the directory has 0 files, 2544 sectors free? In fact, the disk is not empty. Tried: AMD-Copy (c) Paul Pavlov; Spectrum Navigator - refuse, citing that the disk is empty; utility for working with real disks in the Shalaev emulator - Doesn't read 3.5 disc. Thank you.

Then unzip it on the spec. No, you don't understand. Need to go in the opposite direction :) I suggest creating a virtual directory on a 3.5 floppy disk (a set of headers according to 255 sectors), and transfer to PC. Then (if necessary) delete the files Spectrum Navigator. Only the headers will be removed. Vega/ex-Style Group. FIDO: 2:5030/1512 ZXNET: 500:812/19 E-mail: vega56@mail.ru ICQ: 144932679

You need to go in the opposite direction :) In iS-DOS, create *.img (as a 640kb iS-DOS disk image) and burn It will fit on an MS-DOS floppy disk, and at the same time rename it to *.trd.
