X68000 disk images to real disks

[sananaman]

Hi,

I'm very new to X68k , what is the best way to write disk images to disks?

Are there ways to do this on a X68000 itself?

What are the options to do it on a PC? Greazeweazle for example, is that an option?


And last, what is a proper way to go the other way around, "Making disk images from real disks"?.

In the file archive PC Tools/Disk is Xfloppy to write on a Windows machine and there is also xdftool. With that you can read and write images on X68000.

Superdeadite has a pretty good video on Youtube on writing X68000 floppies with actual hardware. Worked well for me, and SX Window isn't too difficult to figure out.

Wow, people still watch those ancient vids of mine? These days I use DPACK.  Very powerful and supports all the crazy 9-sector formats like 2HS and 2HDE.

Greaseweazle has worked for me very well for all Japanese computers.

I'm old, and its worked well for me with the few floppies i've written. I'll have to check out DPACK though...

LOL.  Back then I was still using a real platter HDD.  These days I run dual CF cards.  Of course that method will work fine with most 2hd based images.  Though I have gotten some corrupted dumps using it.  DPACK has always given me clean dumps, and it supports all the wacky formats.  Dive On 2016 for example uses 2HDE format, DPACK can handle it perfectly.
