Five Blank Disk Images
XBAS_131_40SS.dsk 40 track single side with XTAL 131 DOS
XTAL205_40SS.dsk 40 track single side with XTAL 205 DOS
ZDOS_blk.dsk 40 track single side with ZDOS O/S
CPM2_blk.dsk 40 track single side with CPM2.2 O/S
XTAL_205_80tds.dsk 80 track double side with XTAL 205 DOS

The five blank disk images are intended for use with EDIP. EDIP will not insert files into these images but EDIP will create a replica blank and files can be inserted into this at the time of creation. The above blank images have the CPM box fixed for the O/S in the image and can not be altered.

Other Disk images will need the EDIP's CPM box checked for known CP/M 2.2 and ZDOS O/S disk images for extracting files and inserting files into replica blanks.

For XTAL DOS disk images the CPM check box should be left unchecked.

EDIP "EINSTEIN DISK IMAGE
PROGRAM"

AMSDIP. Amstrad CPC 6128 Disk Image Program. This is a quick adaption of EDIP to open, extract files, to create replica blank disk image and insert files into the new image that works for the few Amstrad CPC single side 40 track system disk images I have. It has not been widely tested and must be used at the owners own risk. Instructions for use are similar to EDIP. Down load EDIP.Zip and read EDIP.pdf.

DISK IMAGES


Disk images are files which hold the complete contents of  a disk. Einstein disk images are a MS/DOS file of  an Einstein Floppy. They can be created in a PC floppy drive with a 3½ inch Einstein floppy inserted using CPCDislXP. CPCDislXP will also create a 3½ inch Einstein floppy  in a PC floppy drive from a disk image. CPCDislXP was intended for Amstrad CPC  floppies but it also works for Einstein floppies. CPCDiskXP download site.


EDIP will extract individual Einstein programs from an image into a PC folder. EDIP will also create a new disk image and insert individual files into it from a PC folder.


Disk images are also required for Einstein Emulation. See Page

Einstein standard -40 track 10 sectors per track- disk images can also be created with EinTrans a serial Einstein/PC transfer program created by Ste Ruddy. See Page.
