Short: Read/Write images from/to any disk, V1.00 Author: Christian.Wasner@hamburg.netsurf,de Uploader: Christian Wasner hamburg netsurf,de Type: disk/misc Architecture: m68k-amigaos GetDevBlocks and PutDevBlocks read (GetDevblocks) resp. write data from/to any trackdisk-compatible disk, e.g. DFx, RAD, HD0 etc. I coded these tools in 1993, but it seems I never uploaded them zo Aminet. They were predecessors of PackDev, a very flexible disk device packer with XPK support. Now as there is something like UAE (Unusable Amiga Emulator) there seems to be a use of at least GetDevBlocks, since UAE uses file disks for floppy disks. The usage is as follows: GetDevBlocks [LAB] [DUMP] PutDevBlocks [LAB] [DUMP] [FORMAT] LAB Read/write label buffer data from/to .lab DUMP Treat as a hex dump (like "type OPT H") FORMAT Format tracks before writing to (label buffer handling may fail for device-internal reasons) ="*" for GetDevBlocks: Send data to output stream (not to *) To get a complete disk image (880k) for UAE, type GetDevblocks DF0 0 0 0 1760 foo and the file "foo" will contain the disk image. GetDevBlocks and PutDevBlocks are freely distributable, as long as no payment greater than $5 per floppy disk or $50 per CD is charged Modifying or removing any file of this archive (i.e. GetDevBlocks, PutDevBlocks and DevBlocks.readme) is not allowed. Use at own risk. Commercial programs (including shareware) using them in any way need a written permission from me. A certain payment is expected, which will typically be a fully registered version of it. Have fun with them. Compatibilty: Runs fine on my A4000/060 and ran fine on my old A400/030 Christian Wasner P.S.: Don't expect any future versions from these programs. And no, I will not give away the source code.
