Hello!
Lately I've been trying to put some dsk programs in disks but seems impossible to work out. I recently tryed with FDLOAD of MEGA SCSI to put C-qser and Msios and others dsk files into its respective disks but it seems that FDLOAD doesn't put "all files" into the disk or occurs something wrong. The final result is that the dsk works fine but the created disk doesn't work at all.
Is a problem of FDLOAD?

FDLOAD of MegaScsi can't handle protected disks or disks with errors on it. it makes a diskimage but it won't always run properly. C-qser shouldn't be a problem 'cause i made that one myself as well.

Here is a tip for ya: diskimages made with other programs like e.g. hddemu (msx) or dcopy (pc) can be used on Megascsi with fdsave command.

The good thing about hddemu is that it stores odd information (unformat, sector not found, crc, ...) in a separate header file, and tries to make the image behave just like the real thing. Works like a charm.

I'm a bit lost. As far I know:

FDLOAD=.dsk to disk
FDSAVE=disk to .dsk

So I don't know Randam what you mean, sorry... can you explain it again? I want to make a DISK from one .dsk (Musios.dsk or C-Qensr.dsk to a diskette)

sorry got the two progs mixed up:

Fdsave (to image) and fdload (to disk) are like you said. FDSAVE can't handle protected sectors, crc errors etc (only some minor things). So it stands to reason that FDload can't write protected sectors, crc errors TO disk. I have created disks from diskimages before with FDLOAD so I know it works in general. C-qser shouldn't pose a problem since it can also be 'installed' in a dos 2 directory iirc.

Possible problems fdload:
1. FDload doesn't perform an 'auto-format'. So lets say you try to put a diskimage from a singlesided disk on a doublesided (unformatted) disk: that might pose a problem.
2. minor corruption in the diskimage: minor enough to be able to execute the diskimage but big enough for fdload
3. diskimage contains 'odd information' as Snout puts it

Possible solution for problem 2:
- format a diskette
- in dos 2 enter the virtual disk with following commands:
ep <drivename>:<diskimage> /d
cp <drivename>:@0
- copy all files from virtual disk to regular disk

Possible solution for problem 3:
- don't use fdload but use dcopy or HDDemu instead

Thanks Randam! you are a genius in this subject!
I will follow your advice, and the solution for problem 2 has amazed me!
thanks!
