Very Computer

I've recently tried to change display drivers on a system without a CDROM
drive, and have encountered a problem creating the display driver disks from
the image files on the CDROM.
"LOADSKF disp1.dsk to a:"

I receive and "unsupported disk type" message ???

Note:  The archive file size is 1884160 Bytes whereas other archive files in
the diskimgs\os\35 sub-dir are 1474560 Bytes in size?

Q.  Am I doing the right thing (creating display driver floppys')

Q.  Has anyone used the LOADDSKF utility and can they offer any advice (I've
tried the options /f /c /y

Thanks much
Dave

I think that you want to use XDFCOPY instead.  XDFCOPY can copy 1.8 Meg
files onto floppies.  There are no tools to allow you to create your own
1.8 Meg floppies or add or delete files from them, at least that I am
aware of.

Get Dsk4Pm from Hobbes. It's a PM frontedend
for creating floppies from disk images.

The 1.88MB files are XDF format, you need to use XDFCOPY
