Re: Disk images-- ShrinkIt .sdk on dsk's
If you are serious about emulating a IIGS, it is best not
to mess with tiny dsk images. Jeff Blakeney posted a
good way to transfer IIGS info.
Use ShrinkIt GS to compress an ENTIRE hard disk
drive partition, then transfer it across to the PC (he used
null modem 56k to transfer 11MB of compressed
volume across). On the PC, use Nulib to extract the
hard disk partition as an image file, which boots in XGS
or Sweet16. Of course a Zip drive would even be better.
Works with ProDOS volumes. Not sure about HFS
ones. Well, Sweet16 is said to support them. I wonder
how XGS will react. ;-)
