Master Disk EX

[neko68k]

So I was talking with some folks the other night and it was brought to my attention that I never did a broad release for this.

Basically I got tired of what a mess the original Master Disk is (no shade to eidis, I'm glad it exists) and I redid the whole thing from scratch using DSHELL (the interface for Dennou Club diskmag) and included as much useful stuff as I could fit on the disk.

Besides a bunch of helpful diagnostic stuff and a couple of bootloaders (SxSI and BM) for immediate use I put some stuff in LZH archives that are also useful but need to be decompressed and stuck on an HDD or something. This is an exercise for the user.

I also included some explanations of common file formats and how to use some the tools included in the archive. There is a description of the important options in SWITCH.X and what their defaults are and their behavior.

Please be patient when it boots, it takes a little while. It decompresses the usable tools from an LZH into a RAM disk. This saves space on the disk and ensures that everything works even on machines with only 1MB of RAM. Also understand that this disk is full (48K free). There is no room for anything else. If anyone thinks that it's missing something really important please let me know and I'll consider making a second disk to go with it.

I hope you all like it and find it useful. My only request is that if you sell it please only charge for the disk and shipping. I did this because I love this community and it's important to me that we share freely!

This is awesome! Would you mind if I include it in my HDD image with a write to disk batch file?
