Bavarese: You must specify "-c none" for no compression at the command line (chdman)
[...]
Bavarese: >chdman64 createhd - c none - chs 153, 4, 16 - ss 512 - o RD50_ST506.chd
Bavarese: (for a 5 MB hard disk). Be careful with DOS FDISK and large HDs, use WUTIL (especially when you specifiy a HD with more than 4 heads)
Bavarese: CCPM and DOS 3.1 cant cope with more than 32 MB partitions BTW
Shoutbox saved for posterity ... should probably end up in the Wiki
