I still believe in miracles.

How much is missing?

Barry and Judge would know better than me. Guys?

The easiest way to modify files on the Harddisk image is to use the DiskExplorer 1.69.

Additional you have to download the file called " unztools040103.zip "

Copy the files
unztools\fmimg2\fmimg2.dll
unztools\fmimg2\fmimg2.ini

in the root of the DiskExplorer folder.
Now you can load/read FMT HD images.





If you have a already created .chd Harddisk image you have to first extract the Harddisk image.

Example: chdman -extract TownsOS_HDD260MB.chd TownsOS_HDD260MB.h0

otherwise it is not readable for the DiskExplorer.

To convert back into .chd format :

Example: chdman -createuncomphd TownsOS_HDD260MB.h0 TownsOS_HDD260MB.chd

Hello Barry,

before I make a description how do create, initialize and format a Harddisk image, are you able to initialize and format a Harddisk image under MS-DOS on MESS ?
I ask, because I guess the changes (label, OS type, active setting, assigned space) will not be saved. No problems with UNZ.

If not, I can make a description by using UNZ + MS-DOS 6.2 Floppy Disk image + Harddisk image.

Sorry, not saw it.

This is a quick stupid question. in the tab menu there is a bookkeeping entry, with coins a-h, and up time. I know it's used in Mame, but aren't it a bit redundant in Mess?

Do you know what chip it is yet? Is it FM-Towns-proprietary, or something else?

It's a Fujitsu custom that some other Fujitsu machines used, apparently.

For completeness sake, Fujitsu machines that uses the same SCSI device are the FMR-50 & FMR-60, that apparently comes before FM-Towns in the progression line.

fwiw some pics of these machines can be seen on Takeda site.
