Author: 0 (0) Date: -0 Hi! If anyone cares, here's a shellscript to write .ST images to floppy on your PC in Linux... It does quite safe errorchecking - it rereads the written data and compares it with the .ST file... I commented out 3 lines because my drive doesn't like using track 83 and 84, but if yours does you may uncomment them... It also supports gzipped ST files. It is only tested on Debian 2.2, but it should work on any distro with a recent version of fdutils. Usage: stwrite.sh filename.st (or filename.st.gz) ----------- stwrite.sh ------------ #!/bin/sh STFILE=$1 STK=$(echo $(zcat -f $STFILE|wc -c)/1024|bc) CMPRANGE=0-$(echo $(zcat -f $STFILE|wc -c)-1|bc) DEV=/dev/fd0 case $STK in 720) PRM='DS DD sect=9 cyl=80' ;; 729) PRM='DS DD sect=9 cyl=81' ;; 738) PRM='DS DD sect=9 cyl=82' ;; # 747) PRM='DS DD sect=9 cyl=83' ;; 800) PRM='DS DD sect=10 cyl=80' ;; 810) PRM='DS DD sect=10 cyl=81' ;; 820) PRM='DS DD sect=10 cyl=82' ;; # 830) PRM='DS DD sect=10 cyl=83' ;; # 840) PRM='DS DD sect=10 cyl=84' ;; *) echo "Unsupported disksize: $STK" ; exit 5 ;; esac echo Floppy parameters: $PRM setfdprm $DEV $PRM echo Formatting $DEV... superformat $DEV $PRM -f echo -n Writing $STFILE to $DEV... cat $STFILE >$DEV if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then echo failed! echo You may throw this disk in the trashcan... exit 10 else echo done. fi echo -n Comparing written data with $STFILE... fdflush $DEV cmp $STFILE $DEV &>/dev/null if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then echo failed! echo You may throw this disk in the trashcan... exit 10 else echo done. fi echo $STFILE is successfully written to $DEV.
