Also the actual capacity of memory cards is not standard ( I have two 4GB cards, one that has a capacity of 4,024,434,688 bytes, and another that has a capacity of 3,965,186,048) so please confirm the image you want to write will fit on the target.There are several types of disk images youll come across working with 68k systems.
Now under emulation they are less popular, but they can be converted to standard raw disk images Raw Disk Images of Floppy disks: contain a binary copy of a floppy disk. The file size is the same size in bytes as the maximum amount that can be stored on the disk, e.g. These images can be used with Floppy-Emu, and can be read by emulators. A Partition Image: contain a binary copy of a single partition from a hard drive or removable drive. When emulators refer to a hard drive file, a Partition Image is typically what they are actually referring to and support. A Hard Drive or Removable Drive Image: contain a binary copy of the complete contents of an initialized drive including the drives boot and partition information. So far Ive found 3 emulators that can initialize and image: MAME, PCEmacplus, SoftMac, Ive created a separate blog entry for comparing what emulators can initialize and partition image files. See my downloads page for additional images (zip, jaz etc.) and a description of their contents. Unfortunately media may have bad sectors so the available space on your media may not be enough to hold the image file. Used with DD: BS1M count for extracting the first portion of your SD card to an image file to editupdate. Basiliskll Emulator How To Use TheseSee my entry on using SCSI2SD cards for more detailed instructions on how to use these image files if your card isnt an exact match, or if you want to set up SCSI2SD as multiple virtual drives. For MS Windows you can download version 0.6beta3 or the newer 64bit beta created by John Newbigin. BLOCKSIZE, if dd is taking a long time, you can set the block size to speed things up, but what you set it at is dependent on the speed of the device you are working with, and the size of the device you are working with, if you are working with an SD card try setting it to bs1M (instead of the default of 512). OS type sudo dd ifdevdisk2 ofOS7552GB.dsk bs1M for windows type dd if.Volumebc8eb0e4-a23d-11e8-9982-00e18c7bb83e ofOS7552GB.dsk bs1M --progress press return wait. Most emulators can not do this, they do not treat drive images as actual drives, instead they treat them as partitions, when these partition images are written back to you real or emulated drive they are missing the boot block and partition table and will not boot. You can also always update the again later on by creating a new image file from you media after youve worked with it for awhile. The SE30, Classic, Classic II, Portable, II, IIx, IIcx, IIci, IIsi, LC typically shipped with only 1 MB of memory. Basiliskll Emulator Upgrade The MemoryIve managed to track down a scan of the Apple Memory Guide from November 2000 (pdf) that shows how to upgrade the memory for these and other 68k systems. This image will NOT boot under Basalisk II you will need to use the System 7.5.5 image to boot in to the emulator. The System 7.5.5 Bootable image is for the remaining 68k systems that have 2MB or more memory installed. Use SoftMacs Transfer Utility to move files between SoftMac and the host system. The contents of the image file must be copied bit by bit on to the target drivecarddisk, these bits replace whatever was already on the target for the section that is over written. Typically after this is done your computer will report that the drive or card is no longer formatted. Thats ok. All that means is that is it now formatted in a way your computer doesnt recognize.
